------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-04-04 11:23 ------- One problem we have to deal with is To Add an samba account for the samba workstations, we need to use either the ldap admin user, or the smbadmin account. To use the ldap admin user we either need to build some kind of web-interface (webmin?), or a command line interface. We could use the smbadmin account, but to do that, we need to decode the file secret.tdb, which holds the smbadmin passwd somewhat encoded. Previously the password has been decoded using tdbdump utility, which p.t. is not included in the samba package. One workaround is to store the password in cleartext somewhere, making sure that the file is only readable by the root account. Finally to join a workstation to the domain we need use the root account to be able to join the domain. This is even true if we already has added the account, by adding a posixAccount, and by using smbpasswd -a -m <machinename> ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
