Hello list, I followed wiki''s tutorial but samba didn''t get to contact to Fedora Directory Server !!!! Samba answers "OK" to "testparm" and FDS is running OK, because i can search / find users from "command line"(also via console) with "ldapsearch" perfectly. when i try the command net getlocalsid, it returns : failed to bind to server ldap://sei.intranet with dn="cn=Directory Manager" Error can''t contact LDAP server (unknown) (Timed out) ...but after that it returns the SID of the domain. smb.conf: passdb bakend ldap = ldapsam:ldap://sei.intranet idmap bakend ldap = ldapsam:ldap://sei.intranet ldap admin dn = cn=Directory Manager It is installed: fedora 4 fedora-ds1.0-2.Linux samba-3-.0.14a-2 openldap-2.2.23-5 (because it''s required in tutorial) Is there somebody that uses Samba with FDS and can help me? thankful, Agnaldo
