samba - Mar 2003 - user entries in LDAP, group mapping (samba 3.0alpha cvs - LDAP)

Hello everybody,

I'm experimenting with samba 3.0 but something is not very clear to me,
especially the user entries in the OpenLDAP server.
On my samba server, I configured NSS_LDAP to lookup passwd, group and shadow
entries.
Now I have to add some entries to my LDAP: uid=Administrator and uid=nobody.
According to
http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/smb-ldap-3-howto.html a user with uidNumber
0 should also be present in the ldap.

I decided to add

uid: Administrator
uidNumber: 0
gidNumber: 0
primaryGroupID: 512
(..)

uid: nobody
uidNumber: 65534
gidNumber: 65534
primaryGroupID: 514
(...)

I mapped the 'nogroup' group (under debian gid 65534) with smbgroupedit,
so
I think the "guest" stuff is ok, but what about the Administrator
entry? Is
it save to create such an entry with uidNumber and gidNumber 0 ??? Or do I
have to create another entry?

My intention is to use Administrator as a domain admin with all user rights.
Must this user have uidNumber 0? Probably I have to create an extra group in
LDAP (ex. domadmin) and map this GROUP RID 512, but which gidNumber must
have this group (also gidNumber 0 ???)?

Because I have 2 entries with uid=0 (root in /etc/passwd and
uid=Administrator in ldap via NSS), sometimes 'su' doesn't work on
my linux
server, I get "pam_authenticate: Authentication service cannot retrieve
authentication info". Note, I don't have PAM configured to use LDAP.
Also creating user entries as Administrator with NT USRMGR gives some error.


Has somebody some advice for me? A working example (LDAP entries (users +
groups?))?
Thanx for your answers!!
