samba - Oct 2008 - ldapsam:editposix

Hello list,

I'm trying to setup Samba to use:

   ldapsam:editposix = yes

but I'm having problems to add users via "smbpasswd -a". It seems
smbpasswd tries to modify an existing entry (and falling of course)  
instead of adding a new entry.

Is that a bug, a configuration problem, or intended behavior?

Do I need to create a postixaccount entry prior to use "smbpasswd -a"?


Thanks in advance,
Norberto

Yes, you do. Or, at least, that's the way I've always had to do it. I  
have a small script with an LDAP template that makes the minimal  
entries in the ldap for a posixAccount and shadowAccount for the user,  
then create the samba account.
