Hans,

If you are using red hat you can also install the dependencies as rpm from: http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/packages.php

Hans,

What version of Samba are you using?

What version of the Idealx scripts are you using? Where did you obtain it?

To update your Perl you need to be on-line and then run:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

Follow the initialization process and then when you get a prompt execute:

install net::ldap::ldif

when that finishes, execute:

install Crypt::SmbHash


That should then have meet all dependencies for the Idealx scripts.

The version of the Idealx scripts must match the version of Samba you are
using because there have been a number of schema changes over the 3.x series.

Hi John,

Thanks for your help and congrats on a great book - it's the best
samba/ldap info I've seen so far!

I have gone through all the relevant stuff, but I'm getting stuck on the
LDAP database initialisation. With the smbldap tools I get a error that I
thought had something to do with a missing perl module (net::ldap::ldif or
something like that) - I downloaded and installed that, and managed to
break my perl in the process, so I can't get that particular message again.


Nevertheless, I looked at the "Alternative LDAP Database Initialization"
section in Appendix 5, assembled the script (I had trouble with it too but
managed to edit it to work). Now, trying out the line:


ncshans:/home/hansdp/ldap-setup # slapadd -c -v -l NEWINGTONCS.ldif

gives me:

slapadd: could not add entry dn="dc=newingtoncs,dc=co,dc=za" (line=8):
already exists
slapadd: could not parse entry (line=70)

I'm not sure about the first error, but regarding the second one, line 70
looks like:

objectClass: sambaGroupMapping

I googled around and this seems to be a problem with whitespaces, mostly,
but I checked every line.

Any idea why this is causing trouble?

Thanks
