[Samba] Re: SMB+LDAP Question ...

[Kristyan Osborne]

it sound like to me you need in your smb.conf file

ldap machine suffix = "ou=computers,dc=blah blah" 

ou is what ever you called your unit for storing computers. it may be users.


cheers

Subject: [Samba] Re: SMB+LDAP Question ...


I'd like to trow myself into the same disussion...

I'm also trying to get Samba 2.2.7 working from LDAP. So far I can see the
users/groups in LDAP, but there is not way I am able to get W2K Pro machines
to join the domain. Every time it comes up with a "...The account used is a
computer account...." when trying to join the domain. The machine account is
actually created in the LDAP tree, but for some reason the process does not
finish. I'm at a loss as to why this is. I'm using "add user script =
/usr/local/bin/smbldap-useradd.pl -w %u"

I've looked around on the samba mailinglists etc, but I've so far been
unable to find a solution to this problem...

Regards,

Thomas
