Re: [Samba] can't get samba 3.0.14a to work with ldap..part 2: smaba 3.0.15

2005-04-27 Thread rich foo
Hi...
I posted a few days ago that I was having trouble getting samba 3.0.14a to
work with ldap.  I switched up to 3.0.15pre2 and had much the same
trouble.  I have been following the instructions in
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf, but I am still having
troubles.

Here is what happens when i run smbldap-populate:

mercury:/usr/local/samba/sbin# ./smldap-populate -a root -k 0 -m 0
Populating LDAP directory for domain TESTNET
(S-1-5-21-4179843118-1526938909-891067941)
(using builtin directory structure)

Use of uninitialized value in string ne at ./smbldap-populate line 165
Use of uninitialized value in concactenation (.) or string at
./smbldap-populate line 170
entry o=ssfsnet already exist.
adding new entry: ou=People,o=ssfsnet
adding new entry: ou=Groups,o=ssfsnet
adding new entry: ou=Computers,o=ssfsnet
Can't call method dn on an undefined value at ./smbldap-populate line
442, GEN1 line 6.
mercury:/usr/local/samba/sbin#

I can't figure out what is wrong...The smb.conf is taken straight from the
documentation and the smbldap tools should be properly configured.  Every
thing is by the book but I still can't seem to get it working.  Could
somebody perhaps post somewhere a working smb.conf and perhaps a slapcat
dump (minus users, of course) or even a working smbldap.conf?  I know I'm
probably just missing something stupid, but I am out of ideas

Thanks in advance,  

Rich

The ldap tools are 8.8.  Previous versions have worked to some extent, but
as I posted earlier, I still can't get samba to cooperate.  The ldap and
crypt perl modules are installed and working.  I was having difficulty
with 3.0.14a and was told to read the
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf book.  This is as far as I
could get.  LDAP authentication is working for unix accounts, but not for
samba.

John,

I certainly didn't mean to sound as though I was bashing the
documentation, I am only bashing myself for not being able to figure out
what I am doing wrong.  The only reason I stressed that my config was
straight from the documentation was to provide a clearer picture of my
setup, and to point out that I was taking your advice and trying to work
through the examples given.

I have started again from scratch with samba-3.0.15pre2 and I will send
you your requested config files shortly.

Thanks, and again, I certainly did not mean to bash the documentation.  I
fully realize that a lot of work goes into it and I am grateful for samba
and all it has done for me over the past 10 years since my first install.

Rich


Rich,


Instead of assuming the examples in the book are wrong, or do not work,
just 
because you can not get them to work, may I suggest that you work with me
to 
fix the documentation so others can avoid your pain.


Please send me direct to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the following:

Try creating a user with the -a switch to smbldap-useradd


Matt

Yeah, I figured that out after i posted, but when I create a new user
using that switch, something else happens now:
mercury:/usr/local/samba/bin# ./smbclient //mercury/richard -U richard
protocol negotiation failed
mercury:/usr/local/samba/bin#

Now i'm really lost.

2005-04-22 Thread rich foo
Thanks, I will check it out.  Mostly I have been using the
htmldocs/Samba-Guide/happy.html, but things have obviously changed a bit
since that was written
Also, i did realize after my initial post that I had missed the argument
to smbldap-useradd script, but that didn't really solve the major issues I
seem to be having
Thanks,
Rich

Rich,


Much documentation has been written to help our users. It is always a 
challenge to help them to find it. When they do find it, it is even more
of a 
challenge to get them to help us to improve it so that others will have a 
perfect experience. Just this time, maybe you can help us to perfect our 
documentation.


Please check out chapter 6 of the book Samba-3 by Example that is
currently 
under copy edit before going into print. You can download this from our
web 
site at: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf


The documentation provides a step-by-step explanation of each file that
must 
be configured to achive a working Samba+LDAP server.


If any steps fails, please let me know as soon as possible so I can fix
it 
before we lock this in. Thanks.


PS: When you ran smbldap-useradd you did not include the -a option that 
creates the SambaSAM entries.

[Samba] can't get samba 3.0.14a to work with ldap

2005-04-22 Thread rich foo
Hi...
If you have successfully gotten samba 3.0.14a (or any other recent samba
version) to work with ldap, can you perhaps email me your various config
files so I can figure out what I am doing wrong?  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
I've tried every thing I can think of, but I can't get samba 3.0.14a to
work with ldap.  The ldap server seems to be working and smbclient seems
to work for Administrator but not anyone else but I can't join any
machines to the domain (XP has given me many different errors, but the
most recent is the specified network name is no longer available) I am
assuming that posting long messages with every config file attatched is
probably not going to win me any friends, so i have put them on the web at
http://thor.ssfs.org/samba/

Thanks in advance,

Rich
