The appendix information I added to "Samba-3 by Example" was put there so that the information would not be lost. and so that others could use it to expand the technique to suit more complex environments.
Unfortunately, the complexity barriers of Samba plus LDAP is proving a lot
more than some sites are willing to endure. The discussions we have had on this
mailing list regarding LDAP configuration problems as well as the importance
of getting the UID=0 situation right are of benefit to many and a turn-off to
a few people also. In many ways, for us and for them, it is probably better
that they get turned off sooner, rather than create something that might be
more negative later on. For those of us who have found the right solution
Samba is liberating.
John,
There's a comparatively new mailing list for people who need to discuss the interoperability between (especially Open)LDAP and other products, a subject that's OT on the OpenLDAP list. A number of clued-up and helpful people (who don't all share my views :) subscribe, who don't subscribe to this list; I've written to the list master to see if he's mind if Samba people subscribe for discussion of LDAP-specific Samba questions.
Typical topics might be:
Which OpenLDAP version to use How to configure it best for Samba How to configure BDB DSE/DIT architecture SSL/TLS configuration ACL design Security Sources of information on the web, FAQs.
We'll see if we're welcome there.
