I'm trying to configure samba 3.0.3 from FC2 with an LDAP backend as a domain controller. I'm using smbldap-tools from idealx.org. From what I've read, I need to configure the domain SID in /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf. But in order to generate the SID, I need to be running samba on the domain controller already.
No. The "net getlocalsid" command doesn't need a running samba server. So the solution is:
1) Start an empty ldap server, don't start smbd/nmbd 2) smbpasswd -w ldappassword 3) net getlocalsid - this should write the SID into ldap 4) adjust the SID in the smbldap scripts 5) populate ldap 6) start the SAMBA servers

Thank you very much for your response, it's very helpful. While I think I can live with this solution, what I really want to do is to generate the SID on a different box and push all of the config files (including the LDAP database) over to the samba server. It appears I can just do what net getlocalsid does and use it to populate LDAP and the smbldap config.
Thanks again.
Eric.
