Have you been following the Samba documentation? Suggest you follow chapter 5 of the book "Samba-3 by Example, second edition". This book is available from Amazon.Com under ISBN: 013188221X Alternately, you can download this book from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf Please contact me directly with details of any steo that fails. The documentation provides extensively documented configuration files and includes, in section 5.1.3.7, detailed diagnostic guidance. - John T. > I have noticed that on when it works there is a machine record set up in > LDAP with Samba data as follows:- > > dn: uid=leem-q4hw$,ou=People,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk > uid: leem-q4hw$ > sambaSID: S-1-5-21-1504740027-1884281049-541626052-3090 > sambaPrimaryGroupSID: S-1-5-21-1504740027-1884281049-541626052-2107 > displayName: leem-q4hw$ > objectClass: sambaSamAccount > objectClass: account > creatorsName: cn=Manager,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk > createTimestamp: 20051109143944Z > sambaPwdCanChange: 1131547184 > sambaPwdMustChange: 2147483647 > sambaNTPassword: 7F47D21BE0CCA3F6BA29CDC00277875B > sambaPwdLastSet: 1131547184 > sambaAcctFlags: [W ] > modifiersName: cn=Manager,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk > modifyTimestamp: 20051109143944Z > > But the rest of the time, when it doesn't work, I get an LDAP entry > without any Samba data like this:- > > dn: uid=commaint-df398$,ou=People,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk > objectClass: top > objectClass: inetOrgPerson > objectClass: posixAccount > cn: commaint-df398$ > sn: commaint-df398$ > uid: commaint-df398$ > uidNumber: 1046 > gidNumber: 553 > homeDirectory: /dev/null > loginShell: /bin/false > description: Computer > creatorsName: cn=Manager,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk > createTimestamp: 20051116130633Z > modifiersName: cn=Manager,dc=commtechgroup,dc=co.uk > modifyTimestamp: 20051116130633Z > > I have experimented with various combinations of > > root# ./smbldap-useradd -a -w compname$ > > to see if I can get the record set up with the Samba data, but no luck. > > I now have 2 servers both of which show the same symptom. > > Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
