This script creates the machine account (machinename$). You could create them by hand but that becomes a bit more laborious. When it asks you for an authorized user/password you can simply use root/password or if you have domain admin group defined, any of those users will let allow the script to execute and create the machine account. > -- > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Re: [Samba] required entries in ldap for samba...
Okay. So - a posix entry for root/uid=0/gid=0 in ldap. Can it have a null userPassword entry and a valid lm/nt password entry? I assume that is best. After I create the ldan entry, do I need to do : smbpasswd -a root Thanks > > You need to have a user called 'root' with uid=0 and gid=0 in order to > join stations to the domain. > > -Tori > > > -Original Message- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Kleiner > > Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 1:26 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [Samba] required entries in ldap for samba... > > > > > > Hi... > > > > I sucesfully linked my samba install with a ldap database, > > and smbpasswd -a works with user adds, etc. But - I know > > that in order to join the domain from WIN2K and XP I need to > > provide a username/password - exactly what ldif entries are > > needed in my ldap db for that?
