Boy I hope someone can help me out here. I am tring to install an LDAP Samba PDC I am using the latest Samba 3.0.4 and OpenLDAP. The LDAP server is running fine and samba. What I am having problems with is connecting the winBlows machines to the domain controller. This is driving me up a wall. I was following this HOWTO: http://www.idealx.org/prj/samba/samba-ldap-howto.pdf to the T. And when I get to the point to create a 'fake user root' account which will allow the NT workstations to connect I get the following error. I do not know where to go from here. Can anyone help? If you need any diag info, let me know I will post it. [root@localhost schema]# smbldap-usermod -u 0 -g 0 root Can't call method "get_value" on an undefined value at /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-usermod line 177, <DATA> line 283. George

Can anyone help?This is what I did useing lastest smbldap-tools (0.8.4) edit /etc/samba/smbusers and comment out root = administrator admin ie # Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ... #root = administrator admin nobody = guest pcguest smbguest run smbldap-populate then 'smbpasswd Administrator' The smbldap-tools create an Account in the LDAP database named Administrator with a uid=0 and a gid=512 (Domain Admins). Once this account has a valid password you can use it to administer the Samba network and join machines to the network. Regards John
