samba - Jun 2005 - Errormessage at start of samba

Hello!



I have problems with starting my samba server with openldaplinking.



This is the log at smbd start daemon:



[2005/06/14 00:00:30, 0] smbd/server.c:main(798)
  smbd version 3.0.14a started.
  Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2004
[2005/06/14 00:00:30, 0] passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_methods_name(721)
  No builtin nor plugin backend for ldapsam found
[2005/06/14 00:00:30, 1] passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_context_list(825)
  Loading ldapsam:ldap://localhost/ failed!


I looked for the plugin passdb backend for suse 9.2 at:

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/suse_update/9.2/rpm/i586



samba-pdb-3.0.9-2.1.i586.rpm



Am I in in the right position?





Best regards and many thanks

Andreas

You don't add plugins to the samba package, it is built with them enabled.
I suppose that makes the term 'plugin' a little misleading.

Are you really trying to get Samba 2.2 compatibility?  I don't believe that
ldapsam is built in by any major distributions.  In order to get ldapsam
support you would need to grab a source rpm, edit the compile options and
rebuild.  Yes you could just build from source entirely, but lets not go
there.

If you are just looking to use the 'standard' ldap backend, change your
option to ldap instead of ldapsam.  This is the one that new installations
should be going for.
