thanxs for paying attention to my problems but smbpasswd doesn't work : no matter how I change debian/rules by adding --with-ldapsam (or even --with-ldap) I keep on getting the same error which is :On Wed, 16 Jul 2003 17:56:48 +0200 Thomas Dewar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Thomas!
I'm pretty new with all this ... but I know that you can configure
samba with the ldap module by doing :
./configure --with-ldap
But how do you proceed with apt from Debian as the only module which concerns samba is :
apt-get install samba.
To be precise: "samba" is not a module but a package (which depends on other packages such as "samba-common" itself).
it is probably a small silly question but thanx for your help
anyway...
I'm currently writing a Debian-LDAP-HOWTO (will be available from my homepage within the next weeks or so) with more thorough explanations of how to do what and when - including Samba. Nevertheless, the answer to your question boils down to something like:
Samba 2.2 can only one method at a time: keep the users in local flat files (default) or keep them in an LDAP-tree. To change from one to the other you have to recompile. Debian defaults to the default :) in this case.
You need to get the Debian source packages for Samba:
Add sth. like the following to /etc/apt/sources.list deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
and run apt-get update mkdir ~/samba-source cd ~/samba-source apt-get source samba cd samba-2.2.3a vi debian/rules --> add "--with-ldapsam \" just before "--with-msdfs" dpkg-buildpackage
The last command will either build the packages or complain of some build-dependencies you have to meet. "apt-get install" these packages (it tells you) and run dpkg-buildpackage again.
cd .. dpkg -i samba-common_2.2.3a-12_i386.deb samba_2.2.3a-12_i386.deb
You'll probabely also install smbclient, smbfs, samba-doc and whatever else you might find useful.
Last but not least: set the packages to HOLD status (so that they won't be replaced by Debian's packaging system with the next upgrade) and _keep track of security issues_ yourself from now on (as the packages won't be upgraded automatically).
Here are some add-ons: Include /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/examples/examples/LDAP/samba.schema.gz in your LDAP's configuration.
Run
smbpasswd -w $LDAP_BINDPW
-w not available unless configured --with-ldap
