[Samba] Problem creating root ldap user in SLES9

[Robert Prange]

Hello,

I am running Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9, and I am 
trying to get Samba to authenticate using LDAP.  I am 
using the YaST system tool to configure the LDAP server, 
LDAP client, and SAMBA.


The issue I am having is that after I configure the Samba 
server to use the LDAP backend it prompts me for a 
password creation for the root user.  This root user will 
be added to the LDAP directory, and I am assuming it will 
be the account I use to join machines to the domain. 
However, I get an error saying the root user cannot be 
created.  I checked the YaST error log, and this is what 
it comes up with...


2005-10-05 20:59:33 1 oasis(6451) [YCP] Service.ycp:324

2005-10-05 20:59:34 1 oasis(6451) [YCP] Service.ycp:324

stdout:]
2005-10-05 20:59:44 1 oasis(6451) [YCP] 
SambaServer.ycp:2123 Running: cat 
/tmp/YaST2-06451-8OsHz8/inp | pdbedit -a -t -u root
2005-10-05 20:59:44 3 oasis(6451) [bash] 
ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):73 Unable to add user! (does 
it already exist?)
2005-10-05 20:59:44 3 oasis(6451) [YCP] 
SambaServer.ycp:2127 Failed to execute pdbedit


So, it's failing to execute a pdbedit, because It thinks 
the root user already exists in the LDAP directory, 
however, I happen to know that he doesn't.


Has anyone ever ran into a similar issue with SLES 9, or 
have any ideas?  Any help is appreciated, thanks.

[Samba] Group mapping question

[Robert Prange]

I used the following command to set users on my samba 
server (who are part of the users group) to be able to log 
into the domain on win xp clients as Administrators.


net groupmap modify ntgroup=Domain Admins 
unixgroup=users


I can verify this by typing net groupmap list.  The 
other windows groups that are listed are all set to -1 
as I have not set them yet.  My question is, how do I undo 
the above command?


I was only fooling around with group mapping, and do not 
intend to use it.  So, I would like to set everything back 
to -1.  Also, is there a control file somewhere that holds 
the group mapping information?


Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Robert
