I supposed it depends if Samba is configured to automatically create the underlying unix accounts when you create samba accounts. My setup doesn't. I created a "user" account in ldap for my BDC.

Thanx Gaiseric,

it was more or less the way you said... only changing the order:
1) BDC# net join -S PDC -UAdministrator
(since I'm using ldapsam:editposix = yes, the posix account is created
automatically by samba)
2) BDC# net rpc getsid
(this automatically retrieves the domain SID from the PDC and stores
it into secrets.tdb)

According to "samba 3 by example" this is not necessary unless you run winbind (http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#sbehap- bldg1)

Now you must obtain the domain SID from the PDC and store it into the
secrets.tdb file also. This step is not necessary with an LDAP passdb
backend because Samba-3 obtains the domain SID from the sambaDomain object it automatically stores in the LDAP backend. It does not hurt to add the SID to the secrets.tdb, and if you wish to do so, this command can achieve that:

root#  net rpc getsid MEGANET2
Storing SID S-1-5-21-3504140859-1010554828-2431957765 \
                           for Domain MEGANET2 in secrets.tdb

When configuring a Samba-3 BDC that has an LDAP backend, there is no need to
take any special action to join it to the domain. However, winbind
communicates with the domain controller that is running on the localhost and must be able to authenticate, thus requiring that the BDC should be joined to
the domain. The process of joining the domain creates the necessary
authentication accounts.



The only thing that doesn't seem completely right is that after this, if I run
BDC# net getdomainsid
I get: "Could not fetch local SID"


However, if I run
BDC# sudo net getlocalsid MYDOMAIN
I get the correct SID for the domain... maybe I must generate a local
SID for the BDC? or something went wrong?...
You can issue "net setlocalsid S-XXXX" on your BDC where S-XXXX is the SID obtained
with "net getlocalsid MYDOMAIN"

Regards,
Thierry
