Re: [Samba] Looking for folks with BIG Samba +/orSamba-LDAPinstallations
Hi Anthony, The best place that I can point you for a good howto or instructions on setting up Samba with LDAP is http://samba.idealx.com. Bear in mind that if you are going to use eDirectory, you are in for a long trip. The best LDAP server to use currently with Samba is OpenLDAP or Netscape Directory Server, as eDirectory has some problems with the sambaAccount objectClass Attributes.

Re: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...
No worries... installing RPMs is SUPER simple. You'll be happier going this route: Stop samba and delete the dir (I believe /usr/local/samba). Then install the RPM's in this order thusly: #> rpm -ivh samba-common-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm #> rpm -ivh samba-server-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm #> rpm -ivh samba-swat-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm You shouldn't need the samba-client, since you won't be conecting that server to any other samba server. After install, run "/etc/init.d/smb start". the smb.conf file is located in /etc/samba. NOTE: once you edit the smb.conf file, you need to restart samba: "/etc/init.d/smb restart". email me if you have any problems. :-) Tori - Original Message ----- From: "marvc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Tori Williamson'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Sameer Zeidat'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 5:35 PM Subject: RE: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3... > I'll try the samba rpm's.

Re: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...
Marv, Don't worry. You don't sound lazy, ungrateful or a peasant. This is precisely why the list exists. Besides, I'm not the kind of mook to say "RTFM" to anyone. :-) The only thing I can think of with Swat that you may have missed was starting it. Look in /etc/init.d for "swat". If it's there, type: # > /etc/init.d/swat start. Truth to tell, I haven't used or installed swat in a while, and I think it's possible that it's now in /etc/xinetd.d, which means that you need to edit the "swat" startup file in that directory and then hup the xinetd daemon. That should start it up. By default most xinetd scripts are disabled at install, and xinetd is not restarted by the installer. If all you need is JUST a few directories, you may able to get by without swat and just edit the smb.conf file following some of the examples at the end. It's fairly straightforward. The conf file is located (if you followed my second install example) in /etc/samba/smb.conf. Otherwise, i think it's in /usr/local/samba/var/lib... i THINK if you followed my first configure example. Either way just "find / -name smb.conf" should locate it for you. Best of luck.

Re: [Samba] Firewall & samba
Well... it depends upon how you want your machines to see each other. Gregis close. But you don't need 135 UDP or TCP 445.

Re: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...
Marv, You do need to run configure for a source tarball... you just haven't found the config script yet. :-) In the samba-2.2.8a directory, go into the directory labeled "source". You'll find the configure script there. My advice is, if this is the first time installing Samba, run your install thusly: #samba-2.2.8a > ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba #samba-2.2.8a > make #samba-2.2.8a > make install The reason I suggest setting the prefix as /usr/local/samba and no other config options, is that this will put samba in a singular space and allow you time to monkey with it in a closed directory. Then when your comfortable with samba and it's files and configurations, you can wipe the /usr/local/samba dir (thus trashing ALL of the files) and run the configure with WHATEVER path your heart desires. My advice is something like this install: #samba-2.2.8a > ./configure --prefix=/usr --configdir=/etc/samba --what-ever-other-config-op tions-you-want #samba-2.2.8a > make #samba-2.2.8a > find /* > samba1 #samba-2.2.8a > make install #samba-2.2.8a > find /* > samba2 #samba-2.2.8a > diff samba1 samba2 > samba-installed Why the two find and diff statements? Well, you'll see that I offer /usr as the prefix dir, you'r files will be scattered. Doing a find before AND after the install and diffing the two find files will create a file (called samba-installed) with the locations of all the samba files. quite handy. If you don't feel comfortable with that, and want an easier way to manage the install (and if necessary the UNinstall) of Samba, you can download the latest samba SRPM file from Samba.org here: http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/RedHat/SRPMS/samba-2.2.8a-1.s rc.rpm Just install rpm-build from the 7.3 RPMS, and after downloading the src.rpm, run: #dir > rpm -ivh samba-2.2.8a-1.src.rpm then change to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and edit the samba.spec file to make the config changes you want. Then: #SPECS > rpm -bb samba.spec This will place the samba-common, samba-client, samba-server & samba-swat RPMS in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 and you can install the latest samba version from samba.org via RPM. Lastly, I offer up the suggestion of obtaining "Using Samba" from O'Reilly & Assc. A VERY handy book for samba admins of any level. And the latest edition covers Samba 3.

RE: [Samba] a few questions
The best place that I can send you to answer most all of you questions is http://samba.idealx.org and read the PDF they have for setting up a Samba PDC environment. If you plan to use Novell NDS/eDirectory for the backend (LDAP) then beware, there are many caveats. setting up the sambaAccount object for users does not currently work with the supplied SMBLDAP scripts, and setting up users by hand is a bear. I'm running a Netware network with Win2K workstations and wanted to be able to have network Win logins rather than creating a separate login for each employee on each workstation. And Novell was not cooperating with me for using it as an LDAP backend for Samba. What I wound up doing is setting up a Samba/OpenLDAP PDC to handle the domain accounts and sync NDS & Win2K logins, so when they change their passwords on the workstation the novell client changes it in eDirectory and the SMBLDAP-passwd.pl script from IdealX handles the SMB passwords... so far it's pretty fluid. It just means you have to enter people in two separate locations as far as user accounts, but once that's done it's pretty simple management. I think the SMB/LDAP/PDC setup is how you will want to go... -Tori > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of D.

RE: [Samba] edirectory and samba
Yeah, I can add it in, but there are two issues: One, I don't know what to add beyond the rid that's might be important, nor do I know how to add a machine name. I don't have any LDIF examples to go off of. That would be a fall back for me of sorts if I could. The bigger issue, is that I was hopping to use the smbldap-passwd.pl script that SMB access to change the users domain password. That script works fine, until the presence of sambaAccount in the user entry. Then it freaks out and updates nothing. Take the sambaAccount objectClass out of the entry, and all is fine for using the script to change passwords again. I just wish I know what the problems with the sambaAccount objectClass and it particular attributes were. The schema added fine. It's to bad the error messages aren't more specific to the problem.

[Samba] edirectory and samba
Essentially, at this point my head is about to explode. I have been able to update the most recent samba-nds.schema from the LDAP CVS at samba.org. And I can add posixAccount users with the LDAPTools. But I cannot add anyone as a sambaAccount (./smbldap-useradd -a "username"). Each time, it adds the posixAccount portion to eDirectory, and then failes the sambaAccount add portion. Is there ANYONE who has some experience using the LDAPTools from IdealX with eDirectory? Anyone at all? Is there some error in the scripts? Or some addition/modification I need to make to NDS? Many thanks in advance!
