Hi! Following the nice desciption by volker Lendecke in the german magazin ix (http://www.heise.de/ix/artikel/2002/04/148/) i've set up a samba pdc with its passwd-db on a ldap server. Unfortunately joining the domain with a w2k client doesen't work. I've added a root-account with pdbedit -a -u root Its rid is 1000. As i can see in the logfile, the user root is found, even the correct rid is shown. [2002/06/09 07:11:44, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:get_single_attribute(287) get_single_attribute: [rid] = [1000] This sounds very promising: [2002/06/09 07:11:45, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(422) Entry found for user: vm2000$ But: The last message is: [2002/06/09 07:11:45, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldap_connect_system(177) ldap_connect_system: succesful connection to the LDAP server [2002/06/09 07:11:45, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldap_search_one_user(189) ldap_search_one_user: searching for:[rid=5002] [2002/06/09 07:11:45, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:pdb_getsampwrid(826) We don't find this rid [5002] count=0 I don't know where this rid comes from. Its not in my ldap-directory. Any hints? Ingo Wichmann
