Hello everyone. I think Samba is wonderful. I have a full domain running here using ldap servers as the back end. The PDC connects to the master LDAP server while the BDC's do localhost lookups as they are slave LDAP servers. The following are snippets of logs that are appearing on my syslog host. Error is on top explanation below. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I am running samba 3.0.1pre3-1 Samba is built from SRPM with --acl-support added. I understand this is a lot of info, nevertheless I have a successful installation running and am having great fun removing Novell from the corporation and replacing it with open-source software.
