Hi Alexander,
Alright, thanks to your help, this seems to work now :)
The actual problem is the LDAP Backend now, since there are about 800 student
accounts and I've only added a few (by hand) with sambaSamAccount
objectClasses in order to test the case.
How can I add the samba specific options to all user accounts and possible
even use the unix passwords (I know they cannot be reverted to clear text and
therefore there is no way of creating a samba hash that way).
I used smbldap tools (http://freshmeat.net/projects/smbldap-tools/) to
configure 150 user accounts a few month ago from a CSV file (a simple
awk script should do the job). You pointed the fact that it is not
possible to revert the crypt hash from /etc/shadow, however a brute
force/ dictionary attack on your /etc/shadow should let you get most of
the password anyway since the average password quality is usually very
very low (unless you have set up a strict password setting policy of
course, and in this case, you just have to look for post-it all over the
place :-).
Smbldaptool can be mostly scripted. However, in order to set default
passwords, you'll have to use Expect (http://expect.nist.gov/) since
smbldap-passwd is interactive.
Cheers,
Denis
If there is any further assistance I would appreciate it very much :)
