I have to say I probably shouldn't have read that version 3 samba book, but I did, so I'm thoroughly confused about what I should be doing to get this server configured properly. I have installed the Sernet rpms on this server. For now, I'm going to run the AD on the same server as the file shares. Using the wiki as a guide, I've followed the provisioning but the first tests don't seem to succeed. Am I doing this backwards? Should I first make this server a normal Samba file server that will allow users to mount shares manually before proceeding on to AD stuff. I'm not seeing how I can have any valid users or anything following the wiki. It's like it should be Chapter 44 instead of the first prolog. This is really humbling. I could use some pointers in how to bring a new server up to an AD/DC+fileserver. Thanks for any help. For now, I'll dig in and read as much as I can. steve campbell
I haven't been following the list carefully, but have you followed the Samba wiki? http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO This should get you setup with an AD quite quickly. I'm not sure about the sernet packages - I've seen _some_ problems in the past, but perhaps those reports are not valid any more. Frankly, compiling your own isn't half hard. [And since there aren't any good [read: current] distro supported packages you end up having to do "manual" updates anyway - so compiling is a little more hard than just installing a package, but also tends to help remove any potential problems/compatibility issues that often crop up from a package [But that's all mainly an aside. Start with the Wiki and go from there. If it doesn't work be specific with your questions etc.] -Greg SC> I have to say I probably shouldn't have read that version 3 samba book, SC> but I did, so I'm thoroughly confused about what I should be doing to SC> get this server configured properly.
