[Samba] smblap-useradd problem

Hi Samba People !

I'm experiencing some issues with the smbldap-tools suite and post it here
in
hope someone could give me some help. I want first to thank you if you take teh 
time to read my message til the end, as it's a little bit long ;)

We do have a Debian Box on our LAN we use primarily as a File Server. This 
server has initially been setup with Etch (4.0, net-install). I've upgraded
it
to Lenny (5.0) few days ago, and problems start to rise :/

Here is the problem that makes me crazy for 15 days now : 

----
fano2:~# smbldap-useradd -a ploup
Can't call method "get_value" on an undefined value at
/usr/sbin/smbldap-
useradd line 232.
---


The related lines in smbldap-useradd script are : 


----
229    # as grouprid we use the value of the sambaSID attribute for
230    # group of gidNumber=$userGidNumber
231    $group_entry = read_group_entry_gid($userGidNumber);
232    $userGroupSID = $group_entry->get_value('sambaSID');
233    unless ($userGroupSID) {
234        print "Error: SID not set for unix group $userGidNumber\n";
235        print "check if your unix group is mapped to an NT
group\n";
236        exit(7);
237    }
----


So this script can't retrieve the "sambaSID" value from
$group_entry, because
$group_entry is not defined.

If I add the line 

----
print  "Output of \$userGidNumber\n"; 
----

before line 231, the script output seems consistent : 

----
fano2:~# smbldap-useradd -a ploup
Output of $userGidNumber : 513
Can't call method "get_value" on an undefined value at
/usr/sbin/smbldap-
useradd line 233.
----

as I do have a gidNumber set with the value 513 for the default group
"Domain
Users" :

----
fano2:~# smbldap-groupshow Domain\ users
dn: cn=Domain Users,ou=Groups,dc=faberNoveldap,dc=local
objectClass: top,posixGroup,sambaGroupMapping
gidNumber: 513
cn: Domain Users
description: Netbios Domain Users
sambaGroupType: 2
displayName: Domain Users
memberUid: ** Not shown here due to security purpose **
sambaSID: S-1-5-21-3439781798-418094041-3636104912-513
----

Nevertheless, I can create a user and samba access to share with ldap backend 
still continue to work, but I've to create my user through numerous steps 
(smbldap-usershow are here for information purpose) :

----
fano2:~# smbldap-useradd ploup
fano2:~# smbldap-passwd ploup
Changing UNIX password for ploup
New password:
Retype new password:
fano2:~# smbldap-usershow ploup

fano2:~# smbldap-usermod -a ploup

fano2:~# smbldap-usershow ploup

sambaSID: S-1-5-21-3439781798-418094041-3636104912-3190
sambaAcctFlags: [UX]
----

As you can see, the "smbldap-usermod -a" returns an error, but the
scripts
creates at least some samba related attributes.

But "sambaPrimaryGroupSID" is not set....

I can now use phpldapadmin to add the sambaPrimaryGroupSID and set it to :
S-1-5-21-3439781798-418094041-3636104912-513 without any problems...


I add here the output of some commands :


fano2:~# slaptest
/usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 84: rootdn is always granted 
unlimited privileges.
config file testing succeeded


fano2:~# testparm

[Samba] smblap-useradd problem

Hi,
Have you tried to reinstall smbldap-tools? We have the same smbldap-tools
package (0.9.4-1), but the file smbldap-useradd appears to be different. The
same content that you indicate as line 231, in our file is on line 202.

Regards,
Tisdn

[Samba] smblap-useradd problem

The smbldap-tools developer's homepage is here:

http://www.iallanis.info/

You will find smbldap-tools-0.9.6-pre1 here:

http://www.iallanis.info/smbldap-tools/development_release/

It worked well for me.

If you prefer, smbldap-tools-0.9.5-1 final is here: 
<smbldap-tools-0.9.5-1.src.rpm>
