I actually loaded another box with Fedora, and used authconfig like you described. It worked quite well! :-)

On a slightly different note... Previously I thought I had winbind working, but it seems I don't. I believe I put all the correct entries in my smb.conf file... but I keep getting errors in my winbind logs. Also, wbinfo -t and -u come back with errors. I'm probably doing something silly, but I'm running around in mental circles trying to figure out what it is.

appropriate smb.conf entries...

idmap domains = EPSILON
idmap config EPSILON:backend = ldap
idmap config EPSILON:readonly = no
idmap config EPSILON:default = yes
idmap config EPSILON:ldap_base_dn = ou=idmap, ....
idmap config EPSILON:ldap_user_dn = cn=admin, ...
idmap config EPSILON:ldap_url = ldap://ip-address:389
idmap config EPSILON:range = 5000-500000
idmap alloc backend = ldap
idmap alloc config:ldap_base_dn = ou=idmap, ....
idmap alloc config:ldap_user_dn = cn=admin, ....
idmap alloc config:ldap_url = ldap://ip-address:389
idmap alloc config:range = 5000-500000

section of log.winbindd-idmap:

wbinfo -t:

yes, linux distros require nss_ldap and pam_ldap to authenticate linux shell accounts against ldap. if you are using fedora/centos you can use authconfig and select ldap and put in the required info. and you'll need to add ldap to the passwd: shadow: and group: entries in /etc/nsswitch.conf

authconfig will configure /etc/ldap.conf and edd the required ldap attributes to /etc/pam.d/system-auth

not sure about freebsd but it shouldn't be too different. (famous last words!)

to convert your existing /etc/passwd users to ldap, you can use the PADL migration tools.

Well, it looks like I would have to use pam_ldap and nss_ldap to make this work. Or so I think... Wondering if all the Linux distros require these too, to authenticate off of ldap.

Hey guys,

I've gotten my samba + openldap running quite well, minus one problem (that I know about). I've read over plenty of documentation, the official and other wiki's and such. I believe I have winbind working correctly, so I assume I won't have to use external scripts to add groups/users/etc..

But isn't there something one must do in order for their OS (in my case FreeBSD 6.2) to use my ldap server instead of /etc/passwd and /etc/group files? I'm unable to change the Administrator users password because I have no Unix account for it, and I assume it's looking for that in /etc/passwd. On the same token, I can add another user who already exists in my /etc/password (the local user I added during the installation of FreeBSD). And it shows up sucsessfully in my ldap server.

At first I was thinking that the ...

ldapsam:trusted= yes
ldapsam:editposix= yes

..handled this issue, via winbind. But that might be a misunderstanding on my part. Anyone have any ideas?
