sorry about the top post.? what exactly does that mean. I thought I
cc'd a copy of my reply to you to the list. Should I not have done that?
or what did I do?
thanks,
that aside,
oops I forgot about idealx, silly me. Yes, I have seen
thier docs. I probably will be trying to absorb info from
those 3 sets of docs. Any early ideas on what you had to
change verses the docs at idealx?
thanks again, Mark.

Hi thanks for the quick reply. I really just needed the fact thatPlease try not to top post.
it
works, and people are using it ok, before I go through the openLDAP,
pdc setup. I've looked over the samba docs, and the docs at
http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb-howto.html and they seem pretty good.
I have not set up openLDAP before, except for email addresses. Any
advice, or howto information would be appreciated. Is there any
other sources of info that you would refer to besides SAMBA docs, and
the link above for openLDAP, SAMBA pdc information?
Thanks, Mark.

Hi all,Hi,
I've dug through the lists and google, but haven't found very
much info on using Citrix with a samba PDC. The small number of
messages and information I've found, lead me to believe it will
work. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge they'd be
willing to share? I'm currently involved in rolling out Citrix
for proprietary windows apps for remote offices. We've always
used samba internally, though I'm still authenticating to a real
old NT domain. The Citrix rollout includes needing more windows
CAL's, so rather then A/D, I really want to use a SAMBA PDC if
possible.
thanks, Mark
I have a Samba-3 PDC which supports >10 Windows PCs and 2 Citrix
servers. The PCs and Citrix servers authenticate against a central LDAP
directory through the samba server. Citrix servers are a part of a
different NT domain (which my Samba PDC has trust relationship with).
But as far as I can say, this setup is working fine for me. If you have
any specifics, please ask.
Thanks, Prakash
That aside, did you take a look at idealx documents? I used most of them
directly, but there are somethings in that document you will need to
change as it does not work.

Hi Mark,
Sorry for the delayed response. If you noticed, (almost) everyone in the list tries to reply at the end of previous reply. If you reply at the beginning that is top posting. Bottom posting is easier as I read through the previous transactions from top to bottom and continue to reply the last mail.
Anyway, if you are trying Samba 3, you must have already noticed that to ensure nss_ldap works fine, you will have to either add your computer accounts under people branch, or see to that your nss_ldap_passwd entry in /etc/ldap.conf looks at the common parent branch of where people accounts and computer accounts are located. This is one thing I stumbled on, which is obviously not in idealx docs. I was (probably still am) a newbie to LDAP and Samba at that time, so could not figure this out for almost a whole day.
Another thing is to give the "Administrator" account (belonging to Samba PDC's Domain Admins group) gid of 0. I cannot remember the exact things that did not work with idealx right now, but if you get into trouble, please email.
Good luck, Prakash
