Hi All,
I have a Samba PDC on my Suse 9.3 machine serving up to 25 clients
with a OpenLdap backend.The samba user password also *sync's with the
LDAP Password and the Local User password*.
Why are you talking about Local user password if you're using LDAP ?
The goal of using ldap is to avoid creation of every users on every
linux servers ...
You just have to configure your box as a ldap client and log in with a
ldap account ... (see Yast for your Suse ...)
I suppose that all your ldap users are also posix users ? (and not only
samba users ...)
All Samba users also have a
local user account which is used by IMAP Server Accounts & Cyrus
Authentication on the same machine. (So, One Password to email and samba
for all users, if the user changes his password from the client machine
all the passwords are synchronized).
Same as before : if you have ldap, you don't need to create local users
Recently I have setup a BDC as well
which is working fine with the OpenLdap Replica. I would like to know
whether the Samba BDC will also synchronizes with the local user
password on the BDC machine. My Replica LDAP is updated on the BDC but
am not sure whether the local user password is updated by the BDC in the
same way as the PDC does.
The local passwords are not synchronized from machine to machine (except
if you're using ldap for all your accounts ...
(all user accounts are also created on the
BDC machine.).
Thank's in advance.
cheers,
Pavan.
