All - I am in the process of writing my own "add machine script" to use with Samba 3.0.20a and our OpenLDAP setup. For the most part it seems to work fine. If I run the script from the command line, I can see that the entry has been added to LDAP. If I then go to the Windows machine and tell it to join the domain, after giving it the Admin login and password it connects up with no problems.
So the next step was to configure Samba to use the script directly by pointing the "add machine script" parameter in smb.conf to the script: add machine script = /usr/local/bin/samba-addmachine %u I restart Samba, then go to the Windows box (XP Pro) and tell it to join the domain. It asks for the Admin login and password, then after a minute or so I get an error popup telling me "The user name could not be found." However, when I look in LDAP I can see that my script did run and add the machine object as before. If I go back to the Windows machine and again tell it to join the domain, this time it succesfully joins the domain. I do notice that after the join succeeds, the LDAP entry now has the 'sambaNTPassword' which my script does not set, and the 'sambaPwdLastSet', 'sambaLogonTime', 'sambaPwdCanChange', and 'sambaPwdMustChange' attributes have been updated. Everything else is the same as was set by my script. Do I need to have my script set the 'sambaNTPassword' attribute? If so, what to I set it to? Or maybe I need to have it exit with some value? I'm obviously missing some little detail. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. /dwight -- Dwight N.
