Hi this is more of an OpenLDAP issue, but since it is mostly used with Samba, some experience would be helpful. We have a SLES9 PDC, running samba-3.0.14a, openldap 2.2.6 Sometimes, the OpenLDAP gets corrupted, no ideas why. It's a bad thing. We have 100+ computers, 300+ users, which shall get 350 computers and 800 users. What would you suggest in order to be reliable ? Reliability is

Two quick questions: 1. For a samba server what backend would produce the best performance with samba. ldbm or bdb? 2. What permissions should be on the profiles folder and the subsequent users folders? /data/profiles /date/profiles/user1 /date/profiles/user2 Thanks for your time Dan

I sent this question to the OpenLDAP list yesterday, but I still haven't seen the message come across the list. I am asking here in the hopes of getting a faster response. I am trying to compile OpenLDAP 2.3.11 from source on CentOS4. I have the rpm for db4-4.2.52-7.1 installed and also a source build of BerkeleyDB in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4. How do I get OpenLDAP to link with the bdb

I have been working through the processes of getting my server up...( thanks to the help of John T. !!! I am now on page 167/168. It states... "Install the file shown in Example 5.4.1 in the directory /data/ ldap." The example states the following Example 5.4.1.

Hi. (Im am sending this to the "stable" list, because it maybe kernel related.. ) On 9.1-RELEASE I am witnessing lockups of the openldap slapd daemon. The slapd runs for some days and then hangs, consuming high amounts of CPU. In this state slapd can only be restarted by SIGKILL. # procstat -kk 71195 PID TID COMM TDNAME KSTACK 71195

I''m moving my Subversion repository to a new server. The old server uses Berkeley DB/Sleepycat and if memory serves, it was a lot of effort to set that up -- so I think I''ll try FSFS. Does anybody use BDB and prefer that over FSFS? Or had any problems with FSFS? (I never had any problems with BDB, performance or otherwise, btw.) Thanks, Joe -- Posted via

I am following the instruction in Samba by Example chapter 6 on a RHEL4 server. Everything seems OK until I get to 6.3.5.7, which says to do the following:- root# getent passwd | grep Adminstrator which returns nothing, indicating that the nsswitch (nss_ldap libary) is not working. I cannot find anything in any of the log files to give my a clue nor any hints on how to debug this. Any

hi list, we have some trouble with openldap (back-bdb) and samba. i think it's more a problem with openldap and bdb (http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-bugs/200510/msg00185.html) but i want to know something about your experiences with openldap in large enterprises. what are your settings for slapd and bdb? or is there a better backend for slapd than bdb? which software versions are

Hi, until now I have run Xen with /lib/tls out of the way for both dom0 and domU''s, but now I''m trying to install OpenLDAP in a domU, which requires TLS as default. So now I have at least three options ahead of me: 1. mv /lib/tls.disabled back to /lib/tls and accept the performance penalty (is there any documentation on how heavy this penalty is?) 2. Compile OpenLDAP

List, documenters; I'd like to exchange notes about the official Samba 3 LDAP doco. I'd like to do this off list, since doing it on list would simply confuse and confound users wit perfectly working systems.

Hello, I've a Debian 3.1 box with Samba 3.0.9 acting as a PDC with OpenLDAP 2.1.30, smbldap-tools 0.8.5, libnss-ldap version 220-1.

Hello Guys, I have configured samba & ldap as a domain controller before, but never on a redhat 9 system. I have updated samba & ldap as far as i can tell to the latest. Firstly I have a smaller issue (I think) I get this error when trying to restart ldap, as usual I have followed the samba howto; however it's not the documentation that is the problem more so an unusal problem or

Hi, I'm running Centos 5, with openldap Version: 2.3.27 Release: 8.el5_2.4. When I run: $ sudo /etc/init.d/ldap start I get the following error: Starting slapd: /bin/bash: /tmp/start-slapd.l14891: Permission denied (obviously the temp file number changes every time). It appears to be a permission problem but I thought I did everything to set up the permissions correctly... Everything
