Hi, I have succesfully setup a Samba server with OpenLDAP authentication. I also managed to authenticate against groups in my LDAP tree, so far so good.
The only problem is that whenever I add or remove an entry from the LDAP group, samba doesn't see that immediately. When I restart the samba daemon, it does pick up the change in the LDAP group. Can anybody tell me how I can refresh the authentication, without restarting the daemon? I am using samba version 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 on CentOS release 5.2 (Final) and OpenLDAP version 2.3.27. My samba config: [global] netbios name = SAMBA server string = %h workgroup = DOMAIN.TLD security = user encrypt passwords = true ldap passwd sync = yes passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ldap.domain.tld ldap admin dn = cn=root,ou=hasselt.be,o=hasselt,c=be ldap suffix = o=hasselt,c=be ldap group suffix = ou=groups ldap user suffix = ou=hasselt.be enable privileges = yes domain logons = yes domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 65 socket options = TCP_NODELAY case sensitive = no default case = lower preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes dns proxy = no printcap name = /etc/printcap log level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 nt acl support = Yes create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 level2 oplocks = True ...
