Not sure if this is the place to post this but....I'm just going through the process of installing Samba and LDAP using the current version of Chapter 6: Making Users Happy (http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2557011 <http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2557011> ) I found one error in the Install and Configure Idealx smbldap-tools

I have a SMB Domain set up with a PDC and BDC. The BDC is joined to the PDC domain fine and shows up in the LDAP directory. I can add and delete users to the LDAP directory. I can use the user accounts to access the Linux boxes. My W2K boxes see the domain and domain servers when browsing. I can access the shared drive on the PDC. I cannot join the Windows servers to the domain. I get an error

My domain name is SAMBA-DOMAIN, I can't join it from a win 2003 machine. Now, if I try to join it from a XP machine, I am asked to enter a username and password for a user allowed to join the domain, however, the info I enter is not accepted!!! Any idea please? Thank you Note: to manage joining my samba domain from a xp machine, I had to change a registry key. --- "Mccrory, Kevin

Chapter 7, Section 7.3 Step 3 needs a correction: The step has users create an admin-accts.ldif file. As currently written the userpaddword: not24get should be userPassword with the P capitalized.

I have the PDC/BDC with a master slave LDAP directory set up and operating. One problem is that I've only been able to get the LDAP Master/Slave replication working if I use Manager as the binddn for the replication. I'm using the IDEALX smbldap tools. If I use another user I get a ERROR: Insufficient access: no write access to entry error and a .rej file is created. Each entry shows

I want to be able to use Samba to manage a Windows cluster account for failing over two Windows clusters. This is a small system, 8 web servers with two DB clusters along with a couple of other servers handling backup and management functions. I run DNS services on the firewall for the internal machines. The AD DNS is only for the clusters. All the machines are Domain members for single Sign on

How do you change the Administrator account name for Samba/LDAP? On all of our Windows machines we change the default Administrator account name to something else. I want to do that for the Samba/LDAP PDC so that all the machines are in sync. Kevin B.

Dear Team, The OpenLDAP stuff on this page: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html is not the preferred backend, i.e. ldbm, it really, really needs to be bdb. See: http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?_highlightWords=bdb%20ldbm&file=1085 "ldbm uses a neutral storage interface which in principle could wrap dbm, ndbm, gdbm or sleepycat as underlying storage;
