Hello list! I would like to setup up a PDC based on openldap. I am running Debian Testing with Samba 3.0.7-Debian and OpenLDAP 2.1.30-3. But i got stuck with one problem: I cant join a Domain if i haven`t added a unix machine$. If i use: add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u && /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" then i can join a domain without problems! slapd.conf: suffix "dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG" rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG" samba.conf: ; SAMBA-LDAP declarations passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1 #ldap filter = (&(objectclass=sambaSamAccount)(uid=%u)) ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG ldap suffix = dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG ldap group suffix = ou=Groups ldap user suffix = ou=Users ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers Error in log: Nov 30 00:04:45 localhost smbd[955]: [2004/11/30 00:04:45, 0] auth/auth_sam.c:check_sam_security(306) Nov 30 00:04:45 localhost smbd[955]: check_sam_security: make_server_info_sam() failed with 'NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER' Nov 30 00:04:45 localhost slapd[709]: bind: invalid dn ("cn=Manager,dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG") Nov 30 00:04:46 localhost slapd[709]: bind: invalid dn ("cn=Manager,dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG") Nov 30 00:04:46 localhost smbd[956]: [2004/11/30 00:04:46, 0] auth/auth_sam.c:check_sam_security(306) Nov 30 00:04:46 localhost smbd[956]: check_sam_security: make_server_info_sam() failed with 'NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER' Nov 30 00:04:46 localhost slapd[715]: bind: invalid dn ("cn=Manager,dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG") # /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: compat ldap group: compat ldap shadow: compat ldap hosts: files dns ldap networks: files ldap protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files netgroup: nis #/etc/libnss-ldap.conf host 127.0.0.1 base dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG ldap_version 3 bindpw mysecretpwd rootbinddn "cn=Manager,dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG" pam_password crypt Does anybody know why my samba box does not find or add the machine$ to the openldap data base? Please let me know if you need more infos/configs or logs. Thanks a lot, Mario
