Howdy all... I am trying to use two different samba servers in a test environment such that a Win98 SE user logs into his/her workstation, authenticates/authorizes themself via the PDC, and then mounts a different samba server to store his/her files. By files I *guess* I mean profile as this is where I assume that this user's personal files will end up.
Question 1: Is this assumption that a users working files are stored with their profile correct? I am making use of an LDAP enabled samba compilation (samba-3.0.4) with respect to my PDC. When I utilize just this machine, my users working files/profile does indeed get stored in the PDC's profiles share. I want my PDC to only be used for authentication/authorization in that I would like all of my users to be able to mount other samba file-servers to store their working files/profile. Question 2: Do these other non-PDC samba servers need to be LDAP-enabled? When I log my user on and off get this message in my log.smbd file: [2004/05/26 14:04:40, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1369) unable to open passdb database. I had assumed that the PDC handled all of the authentication/authorization and am little confused as to why this file-server would be trying to access the passwd database. I have been following the howto found at this url: http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/smb-ldap-3-howto.html It has been VERY helpful. When I got to the section entitled "A complex and real example", I am left unsure of how a user actually mounts this second non-PDC file-server. This info is seemingly left out. Question 3: How are the following ldap attributes for a sambaSamAccount actually used to accomplish this? sambaAcctFlags sambaHomePath sambaHomeDrive sambaProfilePath Question 4: What about the smb.conf directives involved? [global] logon path logon home [profiles] path In the example there is no "profiles" share found on the non-PDC file-server. /me shrugs I'm a little bewildered with all of this and would LOVE some help. I'm fairly good at RTFMing do if I have overlooked an important piece of documentation, by all means point it out to me and I will inhale it. I've tried looking at the ldap schema but didn't pull too much from it. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated...
