Hello I have Master and Slave setup. if I use passwd to change user unix password on my Slave, replication works. My slave server is also Samba server. when I use smbpasswd to change samba password change only goes to Master but replication to slave fails. *.rej file is created on master in replica dir, which says my replication dn has insufficient access.here is *.rej file ERROR: Insufficient access replica: pcNavYkfSupp1.ykf.navtechinc.com:389 time: 1061512050.0 dn: uid=jabbasi,ou=Ykfpeople,dc=navtechinc,dc=com changetype: modify replace: uid uid: jabbasi following is my ACL on Slave access to dn=".*,dc=navtechinc,dc=com" attr=userPassword,ntPassword,lmPassword,gecos by dn="cn=Manager,dc=navtechinc,dc=com" write by dn="uid=replica,ou=ykfPeople,dc=navtechinc,dc=com" write by self write by * auth access to dn=".*,dc=navtechinc,dc=com" attr=mail by dn="cn=Manager,dc=navtechinc,dc=com" write by self write by * read access to dn=".*,ou=ykf,dc=navtechinc,dc=com" by * read access to dn=".*,dc=navtechinc,dc=com" by self write by * read This is my replicatio setup on Slave updatedn uid=replica,ou=ykfPeople,dc=navtechinc,dc=com" updateref "<ldap://pcNavYkfSupp2.ykf.navtechinc.com/>" Does anyone know why? while my ldap.conf uses this dn to bind cn=Manager,dc=navtechinc,dc=com , and smb.conf also binds same dn --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
