The main reason we don't use the Cifs capabilities of the Isilon cluster
is that it doesn't support how we use Samba / Ldap.
We have 1 LDAP tree, with all little OU's and each OU is the container
for 1 domain.
We use a filter to make sure that a user that connect to the samba he
has access to, only sees his part of the LDAP tree.
This filter functionality is something that is not available in the
stock samba, it was before, and we patch it back into every samba we use
in production.
We can't patch it into the Cifs server on the Isilon cluster.
You should be able to - it's just Samba and so you have
the source code.
Is the filter patch more generally useful ? Do you think
it's worth submitting to the list or as a feature request ?
Jeremy.
The filter patch is very usefull and a while back it was in the code.
But as I understood from my colleges is was removed because noone seemed
to understand what you could do with it and therefor noone needed it. We
need it very much and that's why we have reverse engineered the patch
that removed this functionality and patch it back in every time we go to
a new version of Samba.
