I'm still being troubled by this and I've retreated to samba-2.2.5. I finally build 2.2.7 after triping over all the tripwires, rpmbuild has changed, and other numerous problems... but I finally got a clean build of 2.2.7, installed it, did a smbpasswd -w "secret password" and it keeps saying it can't get the secret password in the samba log files when trying to logon to a system.
Now have done exactly the same with 2.2.5, and it works fine... so I'm doing something consistently wrong with 2.2.7 but don't know what. I would deeply appreciate your samba.spec .. also noted that the dependency on perl(CGI) and perl(Net::LDAP) is gone in 2.2.7, so maybe smbpasswd -w isn't the correct way to store password anymore? or any advice you have... thanks very much for your help, I apprciate it. btw did you have trouble with rpmbuild and it's new behaviour where it fails if files get built that aren't in the %files section? I sure stumped me for a while, I guess I just couldn't imagine that they had made such a change in rpmbuild and I kept thinking something was wrong with the source and I'm building on a slow machine, so now, when you change the spec file and it creates new files, you have to build once to find the new files, then include them in the spec and build again, I know they say it's a god send, but it didn't seem like that yesterday... anyway, thanks again for your help, would appreciate the samba.spec and any other tips you might have found.
Cheers Bill

Hi,
If you're considering using samba, ldap and Redhat 9, forget it. Spent all day yesterday trying to get RH9 samba srpm to compile with it and no go... I was under the impression that a lot of people use ldap to authenticate samba users for central authentication, at least I do... they are certainly going to be dissapointed if they try it with RH9.
Don't really see why Redhat don't build samba with ldap support built in... it's hardly experimental any more...
Really starting to lose the faith in Redhat these days... perhaps it's time to move on.
Bill Dossett -------- Bill,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems in getting LDAP
authentication via Samba in Redhat 9; however, I assure you that it
works correctly - we are in the process of migrating authentication from
traditional windows servers to LDAP/Samba servers and have had no
problems compiling either the current RH version of samba or the latest
Stable build of samba for this project. Once we get past the
automagically making the machine account problem with Samba 2.x, we're
ready to rock and roll. Let me know if you would like a copy of the
compiled samba source or the SPEC file and maybe that will make your
life a little easier. In the meantime, check out
http://samba.idealx.org 's How-to in getting LDAP/Samba authentication
up and going.. It's a little outdated now, but it's still about 90%
accurate and step-by-step oriented.
Hope this helps!
