Hello, Everything seems hopeless...... At this moment, I still run Samba 3.0-alpha21 with ldapsam backend. In the past I have been following the development of Samba closely. I have been working on migrating my samba 3.0-alpha21 to Samba 3.0.2a. It just doesn't work, I tried to follow the explanations about the new samba.schema and other related stuff but I think there have become to much bits and pieces of how it all fits together and I lost complete track of it. Desperate as I am, I thought of giving it a try using the plain, simple "tdbsam" backend. But it doesn't work either. So, here I am now with nothing working so far except my good old Samba 3.0-alpha21. Can somebody please give me a detailed description how to setup a samba PDC using tdbsam? And please don't tell me to take a look at the several docs that I can find a million places, I just want a clear, straightforward description from A to Z please. Can't be that hard since you all got it working, right? My thanks in advance. Eddie.
