Hi, I've implemented an LDAPv2 server with samba support but find that smbpasswd does not work as expected. I am using berkeley db-4.1.25_p1, openldap-2.1.26, and samba-3.0.2a. Anybody have any clue why I get the following error when attempting to add samba support for a user (specifically a DB_KEYEXIST error). I get the following output (excerpt) from smbpasswd: ldapsam_add_sam_account: Adding new user init_ldap_from_sam: Setting entry for user: shpatric smbldap_add: dn => [uid=shpatric,ou=People,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu] ldapsam_modify_entry: Failed to add user dnuid=shpatric,ou=People,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu with: Already exists ldapsam_add_sam_account: failed to modify/add user with uid = shpatric (dn = uid=shpatric,ou=People,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu) Failed to add entry for user shpatric. Failed to modify password entry for user shpatric I get a DB_KEYEXIST error (excerpt) from slapd.log: => access_allowed: write access to "uid=shpatric,ou=People,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu" "entry" requested => acl_get: [1] check attr entry <= acl_get: [1] acl uid=shpatric,ou=People,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu attr: entry => acl_mask: access to entry "uid=shpatric,ou=People,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu", attr "entry" requested => acl_mask: to all values by "cn=smbadmin,ou=people,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu", (=n) <= check a_dn_pat: * <= acl_mask: [1] applying write(=wrscx) (stop) <= acl_mask: [1] mask: write(=wrscx) => access_allowed: write access granted by write(=wrscx) => bdb_dn2id_add( "uid=shpatric,ou=people,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu", 0x00000016 ) => bdb_dn2id_add: put failed: DB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists -30997 <= bdb_dn2id_add: -30997 bdb_add: dn2id_add failed: DB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists (-30997) send_ldap_result: conn=46 op=8 p=3 send_ldap_result: err=68 matched="" text="" #ldapsearch output dn: uid=shpatric,ou=People,dc=sv,dc=vt,dc=edu objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount sn: Shinpaugh loginShell: /bin/bash uidNumber: 1000 gidNumber: 1000 mail: shpatric@vt.edu uid: shpatric gecos: Patrick Shinpaugh cn: Patrick Shinpaugh homeDirectory: /home/shpatric userPassword: #/etc/samba.smb.conf [global] netbios name = ok workgroup = VELAB security = user encrypt passwords = yes ldap admin dn = "cn=smbadmin,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=edu" ldap ssl = off ldap suffix = dc=domain,dc=edu ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap group suffix = ou=Groups ldap machine suffix = ou=Hosts ldap filter = "(&(uid=%U)(objectClass=sambaAccount))" passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ok.domain.edu ldap passwd sync = no [files] path = /export/home read only = no Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
