Hi,
we are rolling out a big Samba 2.2.8a installation.
I used that version because I succeded in compiling it with Sun Directory Server
5.2 (ldap) libraries without any source modification.
We are using "security=server", which is an Active Directory.
During our test we get a lot of random
"smbd/password.c:server_validate(1102) password server is not
connected"
(note the password server is not specified)
This is a random error: after a while then you can authenticate correctly.
So I am guessing if there is some parameter which would avoid it.
My smb.conf is:
[global]
workgroup = CTXHERA
netbios name = SAMBATEST
interfaces = samb2/255.255.255.0 bsamb2/255.255.255.0
bind interfaces only = Yes
security = server
password server = ctxdc1, ctxdc2
encrypt passwords = Yes
server string = Area TEST SAMBA2
lock dir = /usr/local/samba2_test/var/locks
pid directory = /usr/local/samba2_test/var/locks
log file = /usr/local/samba2_test/var/logfile
log level = 3
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_KEEPALIVE
wide links = No
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
[PITECO]
comment = PITECO_TEST
browseable = yes
writable = yes
path = /samba/samba01/TEST/piteco_test
Many thanks and best regards.

In any case, I would suggest 2.2.12 if you must use the old unsupported version. To compile 3.0.x to run against Sun's LDAP server, the stated procedure is to compile against openldap libraries, which will give you the abilitiy to talk to any ldap server. You just need to tell samba how to speak the language of ldap, not Sun's particular dialect. -- -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.
