[Samba] smbldap-populate failure

dear list,

I'm trying to migrate nt4 to samba3, and have two issues at the moment.
First is: I'm getting two (small?) errors using smbldap-populate on my ldap
database. At first I tried ignoring this, but now also rpc net vampire
complains. (maybe because of this..?)

This is the output of smbldap-populate:
<quote>

searched the archives, but unsuccessfully... :(

and later on, net vampire gives errors like:

Since after completion the users/machines DO exist in the database, I guess
it means failed to MODIFY.

Using samba 3.0.10-SUSE, suse 9.0, most recent idealx ldap tools.

Anyone here has an idea what is going wrong..?

[Samba] smbldap-populate failure

Hi, 
At least for the error after the ldaidmapsuffix, it's caused by a typo in
your smbldap-tools, smbldap.conf, missing the ou= part.
The other, may relate to another variable not beeing set in the same file.
It would help posting that file.

Best Regards,
Bruno Guerreiro

[Samba] smbldap-populate failure

Hi!

Looked through the smbldap.conf, and indeed: i found the typo, and corrected
it, thanks for pointing it out.

Correcting this did NOT solve the other problem though... therefore, as
requested, my smbldap.conf. As far as I can see, the accounts are created in
ldap, but only with a username and only default values for the rest. Meaning
updating the records with more information (such as: full username, etc,
etc) does not work.

The smbldap.conf is attached. Hope you have some ideas.. :)
note: i replaced ip addresses and my SID with x. In the actual file, they
are the actual values... :)

Thanks for your input so far!

[Samba] smbldap-populate failure

Hi,
I can't find any problem,
You're missing UID_START= and GID_START=  but i think that has been
superseede by NextFreeUnixId.
When you ran the script, the sid was already defined, right?
As the error seems to occur when the userSID is beeing generated.

Best regards,
Bruno Guerreiro

right..?
That's there, yes.

What would you like me to show you, that could help? smb.conf? smbldap.conf?
/var/log/warn containing the errors? I'm NOT using start tls (yet), what
else would you like to know?

A bit off topic perhaps, but:
I wonder: shouldn't there be a script to modify a user? there is "add
user
script", "delete user script", but no "modify user
script". Is that right..?

Thanks for the help so far!

[Samba] smbldap-populate failure

oh yes, something important (maybe) that I forgot to mention...

the howto's tell me that the command to 'vampire' is:
net rpc vampire -Uadministrator%adminpassword

this FAILS here. without an error or anything, the cursor is simply returned
immediately, and nothing at all happened.

then what did:
added an administrator account to ldap, with my domain admin password, and
then issued the following:

net rpc vampire -S pdcname

that works, but with the errors as indicated earlier.

Apologies for not letting you know this in the first place. (I simply forgot
to mention it.)

Yours,
Mourik Jan

[Samba] smbldap-populate failure

finally solved this. SOO happy. :)

I'm posting it here, in case anyone else ever has this issue. It was my own
fault...

In the idealx howto, smb.conf has three entries commented out:

  # ldap filter = (&(objectclass=sambaSamAccount)(uid=%u))
  #delete user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-userdel "%u"
  #delete group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupdel "%g"

I (accidentally?) uncommented the first one, so there was an ldap filter in
place. (no idea what the filter exactly does, but the result was my having
all these problems)

Anyway, glad to be able to proceed again! Stupid me! :)
