Hi... I sucesfully linked my samba install with a ldap database, and smbpasswd -a works with user adds, etc. But - I know that in order to join the domain from WIN2K and XP I need to provide a username/password - exactly what ldif entries are needed in my ldap db for that? Is it 'administrator' with a uid of 0 - Can I use smbpasswd to make this, or ldif/ldapadd? Thanks.... -- <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< Ken Kleiner System Manager Computer Science Department Umass Lowell voice : 978 934 3645 fax : 978 934 3551 cell : 603 930 5582 (emergencies only, please) ken@cs.uml.edu
Okay. So - a posix entry for root/uid=0/gid=0 in ldap. Can it have a null userPassword entry and a valid lm/nt password entry? I assume that is best. After I create the ldan entry, do I need to do : smbpasswd -a root Thanks....> > You need to have a user called 'root' with uid=0 and gid=0 in order to > join stations to the domain. > > -Tori > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: samba-bounces@lists.samba.org > > [mailto:samba-bounces@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Ken Kleiner > > Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 1:26 PM > > To: samba@lists.samba.org > > Subject: [Samba] required entries in ldap for samba... > > > > > > Hi... > > > > I sucesfully linked my samba install with a ldap database, > > and smbpasswd -a works with user adds, etc. But - I know > > that in order to join the domain from WIN2K and XP I need to > > provide a username/password - exactly what ldif entries are > > needed in my ldap db for that?

This script creates the machine account (machinename$). You could create them by hand but that becomes a bit more laborious. When it asks you for an authorized user/password you can simply use root/password or if you have domain admin group defined, any of those users will let allow the script to execute and create the machine account.> -- >
