Hello I am trying to configure samba with Fedora Directory Server 1.0.4 on a Fedora 8 machine. I am following this guide: http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:Samba. Everything has "seemed" to work out fine until I got to the part of Populating FDS with PDC Entry. My end result is hopefully that user can log in on Windows XP Pro with pGina and have their home drive automounted using a logon script with Samba using Fedora Directory Server as the backend. By the way I don't know if I have configured everything up until this step correct but I haven't gotten any errors, is there any way to check if it is configured correctly? Here is my terminal: [root@daneshea ~]# net getlocalsid SID for domain SHEA is: S-1-5-21-578281780-2648695933-2708965967 [root@daneshea ~]# gedit /tmp/sambaDomainName.ldif my sambaDomainName.ldif: dn: sambaDomainName=SHEA,dc=com objectclass: sambaDomain objectclass: sambaUnixIdPool objectclass: top sambaDomainName: SHEA sambaSID: S-1-5-21-578281780-2648695933-2708965967 uidNumber: 550 gidNumber: 550 the end result: [root@daneshea ~]# /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-daneshea/ldif2ldap "cn=Directory manager" password /tmp/sambaDomainName.ldif ldap_simple_bind: Can't connect to the LDAP server - Invalid argument [root@daneshea ~]# I think that my smb.conf is configured correctly but I wouldn't really know, as you can see I have 5 different users that I want to map network drives for automatically when they logon via a logon script in samba: Global parameters [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = SHEA server string = Shea Server map to guest = Bad User log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 preferred master = yes local master = yes domain master = yes dns proxy = No security = user passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://192.168.1.109 ldap admin dn = cn=Directory Manager ldap suffix = dc=com ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap group suffix = ou=Groups domain logons = yes os level = 24 logon script = %U.bat logon home = \\home\%u\ <file:///\\home\%25u\> logon path = \\home\%u\ <file:///\\home\%25u\> logon drive = P: template shell = /bin/false winbind use default domain = no [netlogon] comment = The domain logon service path = /export/samba/logon public = no writeable = no browsable = no # Share [Chance] path = /home/CShea public = yes writeable = yes [Dane] path = /home/DShea public = yes writeable = yes [Berit] path = /home/BShea public = yes writeable = yes [Dale] path = /home/DLShea public = yes writeable = yes [Savanah] path = /home/SShea public = yes writeable = yes -- Thanks Dane Shea
