I am so excited folks...I finally got Samba to authenticate Windows using LDAP and successfully join my XP boxes to the domain. Man, after all the frustration of debugging in Samba 3.0 beta1. I decided to try out version 2.2.8a instead. Therefore, I grab the .tar.gz and recompiled it and setup everything with the smbldap-tools and bam, it works...Well, at first I cannot join my XP into the DOMAIN and get the Access Denied and read the log and it said there was no root account in which windows is looking for. I then used the smblap-useradd.pl and added root, modified some entries and there it is the good old wonderfu message "Welcome to XXXX Domain" and reboot and hooray... I can't get the damn Samba 3.0 beta1 to work cuz I guess the smbldap-toos is not working right under 3.0. Anyway, don't care now, I'll just stick with Samba 2.2.8a. So happy!!!! :) ------------------------------------------------- Need Web Email Account? Email tpham@viettre.net -------------------------------------------------
