Hi ,
I don't know if this is the appropriate list to ask or say something like
this ...
What I would like to see is the complete samba configuration (smb.conf) in
ldap. With the possibility of course for non ldap users to have it in a
text file.
I would set the different sections (global, printers, different shares) as
separate objects in the tree.
We are busy hacking pgina (the pluggable gina) and creating a new plugin
to get the mappings from shares to drives for users from ldap.
By combining these objects with the previous mentioned samba share objects
we would get a very easy to manage (for junior admins, admins who like
gui's).
You would than :
1) create a share object
2) assign a share group object with the share object
3) put the user in this group
This would be a first step on creating a file server as easy to manage as
a win2k server.
The rest of the ldap config would be filled in with bind_sdb_ldap,
dhcp_ldap, qmail-ldap, ...
What do you think ?
Regards,
Christian
