Hi,
I am using Samba4 in domain controller mode with Samba 3.6.0 as a
fileserver and want to report some experiences and not yet understood
things -- maybe due to my ignorance as a relative beginner:
* Building, installing and provision works like a charm.
* winbind behaves a bit strange on the 3.6 side. Only the group name is
not shown correctly, maybe due to a misconfiguration:
$ id dgouders
uid=1632(FB5+dgouders) gid=1013(TANGO+none) groups=1013(TANGO+none)
I already sent a message to samba@ and maybe this problem will be
solved, soon.
* I accessed LDAP with jxplorer and cannot modify user data; it
reports that all mandatory attributes must have values.
I did not look too deep into it but noticed a mandatory attribute
"nTSecurityDescriptor" that I did not find in the user entry I wanted
to modify.
* With phpldapadmin the modification of e.g. displayName works, but I
cannot add an attribute "memberOf". I am not sure if that would be
the correct way to manage group membership or if there is a better
way (except the tools that run under Windows) to do that.
Other open questions of mine I better leave to be solved by continuous
reading ;-)
Dirk
