OK I'm confused.
Can machines be in ou=Computers,dc=somewhere,dc=net ?
yes, if nss_ldap will find them there (or if you store machine accounts without ldap).
Every thing works fine if I configure so that machine accounts are created under ou=Users. If configured for machines to be in ou=Computers, I can't add a new machine. Error returned is "The user name could not be found." This is from the w2k machine itself.
The release notes for 3.0.11 seem to say adding machines under ou=Computers should work.
The IDEALX Samba-OpenLDAP Howto (Revision 1.9) seems to indicate it should work. But ldap.conf needs to be set to: nss_base_passwd dc=somewhere,dc=net?sub nss_base_shadow dc=somewhere,dc=net?sub nss_base_group ou=Group,dc=somewhere,dc=net?one (I did this.)
The IDEALX Smbldap-tools User Manual (Release:0.8.7) In section 6.9 on page 18 says no, _unless_ you apply the fix as listed above.
Note that the IDEALX howtos were released after Samba 3.0.11.
I'm using SUSE Pro 9.2 with all patches up to date. Samba version is samba-3.0.11-2.1 from the binaries on the ftp site.
The /var/log/messages seem to indicate that add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" is trying to add the machine directly in dc=somewhere,dc=net.
Any help would be appreciated.
