Hi folks, I have successfuly migrated a WinNT 4.0 Domain to a Debian server with Samba3+Ldap following the Samba-3 by Example guide from John H. Terpstra (an impressive good guide) and The Linux Samba-OpenLADP Howto from Jerome Tournier & Olivier Lemaire.
The domain holds about 800 accounts. There are WinNT servers, WinXP and Win95 clients belonging to it. WinNT servers and WinXP clients are working fine (i.e. as expected). Nevertheless, Win95 clients are now unable to share local folders because they cannot retrieve the user list from the domain. The following lines are logged on the samba server: [2005/07/27 14:28:45, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_setsampwent(1236) ldapsam_setsampwent: LDAP search failed: Size limit exceeded [2005/07/27 14:28:45, 0] rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:load_sampwd_entries(342) load_sampwd_entries: Unable to open passdb. That makes the question an LDAP/Samba related issue (I believe). I have browsed the list for help and found this: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=109416402629367&w=2 which did not worked for me. I do not want to bother you with boring details. As for the Debian distribuition caveats I'd like to mention: 1. There is no /etc/ldap.conf file. There are /etc/pam_ldap.conf from the libpam-ldap package and /etc/linbss-ldap.conf from libnss-ldap package. 2. Slapd does not start if a statement like [limits dn="cn=manager,dc=tcdf,dc=net" size.soft=-1 size.hard=soft"] is found in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf. A statement like {sizelimit unlimited} is not a show stopper. Debian 3.1 (sarge) slapd-2.2.23-8 samba-3.0.14a-3 smbldap-tools-0.8.7-4 The most interesting information is that it seems that Slapd is realy not limiting the amount of information delivered. The folowing comands work flawless in the Debian box: 1. pdbedit -L 2. getent passwd 3. ldapsearch -x As for WinNT, no problems sharing folders and even User Manager for domains is operational. As for WinXP, no problems at all when sharing folders. Would anyone help me?
