Hello, We had a linux guy here working on this in his busy schedule, but ultimately, he was unable to make it work before he left the department. Is there a good doc that will help someone without much linux experience other than lots of /etc/init.d/servicename restart, using vi to edit the named.zones DNS entries and other similar stuff to configure an existing Samba server as a PDC with OpenLDAP for single sign-on? This is on OpenSUSE 10.2 Thanks, Joel

Hi Joel, This is a setup I use and anyone looking to start learning about it, just like Adam said the Samba-3 by example is a fantastic starting place and reference book. I have a hard copy here along with what I believe is another essential: LDAP System Administration (O'Reilly). These two books work very well with each other and get you through the process quite nicely. Kind Regards, Martin .....

You might have some success using the script found at the link below to set up smb/ldap, this is used by those of us using the K12LTSP distribution. http://www.vcsvikings.org/docuwiki/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ Sincerely, Dave Hopkins -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Joel Braverman" <joel@uaudio.com>> Hello, > > We had a linux guy here working on this in his busy schedule, but ultimately, he > was unable to make it work before he left the department. > > Is there a good doc that will help someone without much linux experience other > than lots of /etc/init.d/servicename restart, using vi to edit the named.zones > DNS entries and other similar stuff to configure an existing Samba server as a > PDC with OpenLDAP for single sign-on? > > This is on OpenSUSE 10.2 > > Thanks, > > Joel > > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Thanks to all who responeded for the very helpful suggestions. Joel
I am preparing to install samba with using AD authentication. I have done this once before. I noticed however on this install that smbd -b | grep LDAP does not produce the following: " HAVE_LDAP_DOMAIN2HOSTLIST" Will this cause issues? Thanks, Kevin
