Hi everyone - hope you're enjoying the new year. I've been working on integrating our Samba file server to use our existing LDAP system for authentication. Both boxes are running Fedora Core 4. My question is, what's this sambaSID value that the sambaSamAccount requires? It appears to be some kind of unique value for each user, but how do I generate it properly? I'm _not_ trying to make the LDAP box a backend for our (few) Windows machines, just trying to get the file server to use it for authentication.
Explanations, links, and even references to good books would be appreciated. The library isn't too far away :). Side question: does anyone know of, or hopefully use, a good outfit that sells commodity 2U rackmounts sans OS? We've got some needs where a rackmount would be a perfect fit, but we don't need the enterprise CPUs and mobos, e.g., an Athlon64 fits the bill just fine. And since we're putting Linux on these things, a pre-installed OS is just a hassle. -DMZ
