...thconfig. I would start by testing IPA. Redhat is building out a set of enterprise management tools which include cobbler and spacewalk; I would think IPA will eventually be integrated into their mgt tools. That said, if you want to use Ldap + Kerberos, here are two good howtos: http://aput.net/~jheiss/krbldap/howto.html http://www-theorie.physik.unizh.ch/~dpotter/howto/kerberos The "current" centos rpms for Ldap are quite old; you should consider rebuilding the latest fedora rpms for your system. -- Steve Glasser sgla9347 at gmail.com

The relevance of this question can be found here: http://aput.net/~jheiss/raid10/ I read the mdadm documents but I could not find a positive answer. I even read the raid10 module source but I didn't find the answer there either. Does someone here know it? Thank you!

Does this mean that my samba is ready to connect to LDAP server? root at webdev # ./smbd -b |grep LDAP HAVE_LDAP_H HAVE_LDAP HAVE_LDAP_ADD_RESULT_ENTRY HAVE_LDAP_INIT HAVE_LDAP_INITIALIZE HAVE_LDAP_SET_REBIND_PROC HAVE_LIBLDAP LDAP_SET_REBIND_PROC_ARGS root at webdev # Thanks! Paras.

Has anyone posted an up to date hardware review lately? It seems clear that a RAID6 server with 300GB CHEETAH 15K.5 SAS drives will trump a P3 with a 30GB IDE drive, however, not everyone will spend the money required for the high end unit, I'm looking to build a new server & trying to make best use of funds (aren't we all). TIA

Hi, Can someone please assist met with some software RAID 1+0 setup instructions? I have searched the web, but couldn't find any. I found a lot of RAID 10 setup instructions, but it doesn't help me. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

...That should give you an idea of whether the client is even reaching the server, and if so what sort of error is occurring. Btw you didn't mention if you were doing Ldap over tls, but that adds another point of failure. See here for a step-by-step test procedure for ssl/tls: http://aput.net/~jheiss/krbldap/howto.html Cheers, -- Steve Glasser sgla9347 at gmail.com

Hello, Is it possible to store samba passwords in ldap without configuring samba as a PDC? All the documents/references I've come across are related to using LDAP as a samba PDC backend, not as just a db file replacement. Thanks, David Filion

...rms of a response. At the moment, I have Linux and Solaris servers happily authenticating to my MIT Kerberos KDC, and fetching user information via an OpenLDAP server with a StartTLS connection (and authenticating to the LDAP server via their Kerberos ticket - very neat stuff, and http://aput.net/~jheiss/krbldap/ was very helpful in setting it all up, albeit with a few errors and omissions). Samba is also using the same LDAP directory to store its SAM database, including user passwords, which can thus obviously differ from their Kerberos passwords. All the Linux and UNIX systems authenticate via K...

I was told recently that Kerberos authentication won't work against a non-windows KDC. Is that accurate? So for instance, it is not possible for Samba running on say RHEL, to authenticate against a Linux server running MIT Kerberos? Additionally, many people said that setting this up was well-documented. Any suggestions of particularly good docs / how-to's?' And lastly, is

Hi, This may be a dumb question (I'm new with this), but is it possible to use SAMBA in combination with LDAP in a Workgroup? All the manuals and examples I can find, are talking about Domains and PDCs. I have to set up a new Samba server and checkout LDAP but I'm not allowed to change the Workgroup settings... Now we use smbpasswd... Is LDAP worth the effort and time? Kind

This is on RHE4, I am getting an invalid DN error. Is there a good resource site for this type of configuration issue? There is a lot of info that comes up through google but I am having no luck finding anything relevant (or that seems relevant to me).

Hello, Hopefully I'm in the right place asking for help :-) I need to move from an old physical Suse 8.2 - samba 2.2.7 + ldap - to latest samba versions, I would like to use an ubuntu 8.04 virtual machine. The domain is in production on the physical server, to be dismissed after migration. It is also the file server!!! so /DATA/ has all shared and permission driven file access.. I was
