[Samba] Samba + LDAP + FreeBSD + a HOWTO
Hi all! I am having some trouble with the above equation. Firstly: Samba == samba-2.2.8 LDAP== openldap21-2.1.12 pam_ldap-1.6.1 FreeBSD == FreeBSD 5.0 HOWTO == http://samba.idealx.org I have been following the HOWTO at samba.idealx.org, and so far I've found it extremely informative for someone who wants to get LDAP up and running with Samba, and who has never used LDAP before. On page 13 (lucky for some) of this HOWTO, I ran into problems. It began talking about using the smbldap-tool kit which I had installed on my system. The following command ran correctly: smbldap-useradd.pl -m testuser1 This command failed: smbldap-passwd.pl testuser1 Returning: Can't return outside a subroutine at /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-passwd.pl line 165, line 2. Is this an issue with the toolkit, with FreeBSD, or with something else? I do not know Perl well enough to begin troubleshooting this problem either, unfortunately. Is there anyone who has had experience with this setup that can assist me in working out what is going wrong? Thankyou :) -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd.

Re: [Samba] Samba for Windows? :P

Well I'll tell you if > you had as much control over smb as you have with Samba then you wouldn't > need it for windows.. I agree Samba is an extremely powerful utility, and part of that has to do with the fact that it's based upon "unix" design -- flat text file configurations, and integration with the Unix subsystem of course, etc. Porting Samba to NT would be an interesting feat, however realistically, who would want to run Samba on NT? If you weren't confident in using unix, I doubt you'd be confident in using Samba/NT. Apache was ported to NT, but I really don't know how many people around the world run Apache on Windows. The only time I could possibly see the advantages of running Samba on Windows instead of on Unix is because you don't have the budget to put in a Unix system. Otherwise, it would be Unix, Unix, Unix, all the way! If it were available for NT, would you run it? And if so, why would you choose to run it on the NT platform over Unix? -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd.

[Samba] Local Administrators error
I can't seem to add Domain users as Local Administrators of computers added to my Samba 2.2.7a domain running on FreeBSD 5.0 on a Windows XP Professional workstation. When I go through the 'Local Users and Groups' Snap-In in Windows XP, I get the following error when trying to add a domain account, such as DOMAIN\bugman, to the Administrators group on my machine: "Information returned from the object picker for object "bugman" was incomplete. The object will not be processed." This does not occur when I try adding users to the Local Administrator's group on a Windows 2000 machine. I have not had the capacity to test it with another Windows XP machine at this point. The logs do not provide any details that I can see. Anyone have any idea how to pursue this further, or are there any further pieces of information you'd be interested in seeing (from my logs/config file) to help figure this out?

The configuration screen allowed me to select ACLs, but to be safe, I recompiled it and reinstalled it manually with a 'make --with-acl-support.'

I did a quick search on freebsd.org and Google but found nothing extremely helpful :/ Am I supposed to be able to modify 'extended' ACLs on the UFS2 file system? Something could be wrong with it. Whenever I do an 'ls -la' I get the following results: ls: ./.: Operation not supported drwxrwx--- 10 root administration 512 Jan 29 11:08 . ls: ./..: Operation not supported drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 512 Jan 29 16:28 .. ls: ./Accounts: Operation not supported drwxrwx--- 3 root administration 512 Jan 29 09:02 Accounts ls: ./Accounts Payable: Operation not supported drwxrwx--- 4 root administration 512 Jan 29 08:36 Accounts Payable ls: ./Finance: Operation not supported drwxrwx--- 26 root administration1536 Jan 29 08:37 Finance Every directory brings that up. It is the -l option causing the problem. A normal 'ls' on its own doesn't display these errors. Any ideas here? Adam -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd.

[Samba] FreeBSD 5.0 + ACLs
Hi all, I am playing with a test box at the moment running a Samba 2.2.7a domain on FreeBSD 5.0. I wish to enable ACLs, but I am not exactly sure what I am supposed to expect once they are enabled. I have created a UFS2 partition and enabled ACL support using tunefs. Since doing that, I have been able to connect to the Samba shares and modify ACLs, but so far the only things I have been able to accomplish are changing ownership, and modifying the o/g/u permissions. As I understand it, because UFS2 supports ACLs, am I not supposed to be able to create more thorough ACLs (much like NTFS can?) Have I chosen the correct file-system to do the job?

[Samba] FreeBSD & Machine accounts
Due to FreeBSD not allowing '$' in usernames, and because I have to add a machine account for each computer I add to my Samba domain, what can I do to try and accomplish the following? 1. Automate FreeBSD to allow me to add machines to a domain the same way Windows lets you do it from the workstation. 2. Add user accounts which incorporate '$' without having to create a different account first, and then edit a $ suffix manually afterwards. Can anyone give me any pointers as to whether these can/can't be done? My FreeBSD installation is version 5.0. -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd.

I was using a similar HOWTO, located at http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb-howto.html, but because I am completely new to LDAP some of it was Double Dutch. How are you going to go about authoring your HOWTO, and what kind of pre-requisits will it require in relation to LDAP? At the moment I'm considering using straight SMB authentication because I don't think I have the time to learn LDAP before I get a test environment running, and due to the lack of skill with LDAP that I have, I needed to rely heavily on a LDAP/SAMBA-PDC HOWTO. OpenLDAP is installed on this test environment, but not running. How difficult will it be migrating from SMB Authentication to LDAP Authentication down the track?
