actually, i fixed this problem and i''ve got samba and fedora directory working well with each other. BUT.... how do you add computers to the windoze domain? i saw a reference to some scripts from IDEALX, but it seems like now that the users, groups and authentication are working for people logging in from linux clients, that i''d rather not start all over. by the way, the documentation''s "how-to" had some errors. can someone tell me how to get them fixed? can users add to the wiki somehow? thanks again, steve -------- Original Message --------> Subject: Re: [Fedora-directory-users] can''t become a pdc > Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2006 23:22:03 +0300 > From: Mike Jackson <mj@sci.fi> > Reply-To: General discussion list for the Fedora Directory server > project. <fedora-directory-users@redhat.com> > To: General discussion list for the Fedora Directory server > project. > <fedora-directory-users@redhat.com> > References: <BD272BC8210D8A4A86612DD0087CDEB8A6D0FA@mail.crcsd.abc> > > > > Strong Steve wrote: > > i''m using fedora directory on rhel 4.0 and i''m trying to > set the server up so that it can be a windows (ick) pdc. the > documentation "how-to" is very clear and things went well > until i tried to get the local SID. after issuing the > command: net getlocalsid, i got two sets of error messages, > both suggesting that in couldn''t find the ldap server. i can > authenticate on the server using ldap, but samba doesn''t seem > to be able to find it. > > > > any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated, thanks, > > steve > > Steve, > What value do you have in smb.conf for "passdb backend"? > > BR, > -- > Mike > > -- > Fedora-directory-users mailing list > Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users > > > > -- > Steve Strong > Math and Computer Science > Washington High School > 2205 Forest Dr. SE > Cedar Rapids, IA 52403 > http://crwash.org > mailto:strong.s@crwash.org > >
