I am in the process of authoring a Samba-LDAP-PDC HOWTO for Mandrake users that will allow cross platform ( Linux / M$ ) network user authentication. Lastnight I ran rpm --rebuild --with ldap samba-2.2.7a-2mdk.src.rpm and it produced a list of packages that I needed to install in order to compile this version of samba. I did so but I neglected to write down the list. I did the install of the list of like 5 items through the gui so I can't track it through history. Anybody know what is required to compile samba? I know readline was on the list as was an updated version of GLIBC Jim C.

How are you going to go about authoring your HOWTO, and what kind of pre-requisits will it require in relation to LDAP? At the moment I'm considering using straight SMB authentication because I don't think I have the time to learn LDAP before I get a test environment running, and due to the lack of skill with LDAP that I have, I needed to rely heavily on a LDAP/SAMBA-PDC HOWTO. OpenLDAP is installed on this test environment, but not running. How difficult will it be migrating from SMB Authentication to LDAP Authentication down the track? Adam

Actually, this is probably a better idea: rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{INSTALLTIME}\n" | sort +1 -n | perl -p -i -e 's/ (\d+)$/sprintf( " %s", scalar(localtime($1)))/e' Cheers, Waider. -- waider@waider.ie / Yes, it /is/ very personal of me. caitlin says, "my cat is YOWLING. what is her *damage*?" troc says, "1d4 x3 - bite, claw, claw"
