[Samba] Ghost Create account: procedure number out of range inSamba

[werner maes]

Sorry to bother you again but in my situation with LDAP authentication it 
doesn't seem to work.

I'll explain the configuration in detail.

I have a Samba 2.2.8a domain controller which is compiled and configured 
with LDAP support.
The user and machine accounts are defined in LDAP. I manually added an 
Windows XP workstation
to the domain (no problems here) using a root account also defined in LDAP.
Now I would like to clone this machine to other machines using Norton Ghost 
7.5. Therefore I have set up
a Ghost Multicast Server. Now when I use to Ghost Console on the multicast 
server and try to add our domain
to the list of supported domains in Ghost I get the error "Procedure number 
out of range".
On the Ghost Multicast Server there is the "ghost configuration server" 
service and on the client machine
there is the "ghost client agent" service. Both of these services only 
start with a local system account.
These services do not run under a domain account. If I try to run them 
under a domain account I get this
error message: "The service did not respond to the start or control request 
in a timely fashion".

Like I said, manually adding a machine to the domain gives no problems with 
the specified root account
in LDAP (see below, I did not include all attributes off course).
dn: uid=root, ou=xxx, o=xxx, c=xxx
objectClass: sambaAccount
uid: root
rid: 1000
uidNumber: 0
gidNumber: 0

Kind regards,

Werner Maes
