As some of you may know, I'm trying to set up Samba BDC on a disk- and fan-less
tiny mipsel_CPU router running OpenWRT distribution.
I already managed to compile Samba 3.0.21a and OpenLDAP 2.3.18 for it, and they
seem to work fine.
The problem is, this tiny distribution for routers doesn't seem to have
anything like Name Service Switch (NSS), and relies solely on /etc/passwd
and /etc/group.
it doesn't have to be NSS.
You can use /etc/passwd for name <--> uid mapping and ldap for NT/LM
hashes.
In other words, Samba will be unable to get users from LDAP.
it doesn't have to :-)
I thought that perhaps a workaround would be to fetch all needed info from the
LDAP, and create proper /etc/passwd and smbpasswd files (or tdbsam
perhaps).
hashed user password are somewhat very different in terms of ldap and
passwd. You can use pam, but You don't need it for samba.
Is it possible to do so?
Or perhaps there are some tools for converting ldapsam to tdbsam?
pdbedit
it is beatiful thing for converting from anything to anything :-)
