Seems like the error messages do not appear when the debian samba and samba-common packages are installed for the first time. These error messages appear once the samba packages are purged ( i had to do this for some reason) and an attempt is made to reinstall them. Samba gets installed fine and works just fine, but for these error messages. Seems like some sort of verbosity issue and the bug report severity is set as minor. -- Vivek Varghese Cherian Free as in Freedom www.gnu.org -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Re: [Samba] Adding a GNU/Linux client to a FreeBSD Domain controller

Can some one guide as to how to go about it ? I have managed to add Microsoft Windows 2000 clients to the domain but would like to have some guidance on how to go about adding GNU/Linux clients. I did a bit of searching and could not find a simple how to. A reference URL of sorts would help. Thanks in advance. -- Vivek Varghese Cherian Free as in Freedom www.gnu.org I'd suggest that the fact the server is running FreeBSD is likely irrelevent. What you need to do is to have your workstation authenticate through the proper PAM modules. However, this also means that your server needs to be able to service the PAM requests. If you look at http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/unixclients.html#id2564417 you will find that using a tdbsam backend is possible but rather fragile. LDAP is a more robust solution. Thanks Gary for your response How about using tdbsam, the management here has not asked me to implement LDAP because a systems administrator here tried to implement it here before and failed. I think i'll stick with tdbsam unless the management explicitly asks me to do so. -- Vivek Varghese Cherian Free as in Freedom www.gnu.org -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
