Fwd: Re: [Samba] samba ldap?

[Tim Tyler]

Gemes, others,
   Ok, I went back and compiled without ldapsam_compat.  I am now trying to 
simply use ldapsam.  However, I get this error in the log.smbd when trying 
to connect with a client:

   [2004/12/23 12:59:18, 0] passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_methods_name(664)
   No builtin nor plugin backend for ldapsam found
[2004/12/23 12:59:18, 1] passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_context_list(765)
   Loading ldapsam:ldap://lincon.beloit.edu failed!
[2004/12/23 12:59:21, 0] passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_methods_name(664)
   No builtin nor plugin backend for ldapsam found
[2004/12/23 12:59:21, 1] passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_context_list(765)
   Loading ldapsam:ldap://lincon.beloit.edu failed!

Here is the Global part of my smb.conf file:

[global]
         encrypt passwords = yes
         passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://lincon.beloit.edu"
         dns proxy = no
         log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
         load printers = no
         printing =
         server string = backt.beloit.edu
         socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
         workgroup = its
         os level = 20
         hosts allow = all localhost
         printcap name =
         max log size = 50
         max disk size = 100
         invalid users      = root
         ldap suffix        = ou=People,dc=lincon,dc=beloit,dc=edu
         ldap admin dn      = cn=admin,dc=lincon,dc=beloit,dc=edu
         ldap ssl           = no

  Do I need additional or different ldap options in this file?  Note that 
we do NOT use Windows Domains.  I have no desire to do anything with 
Windows Domains.  There are no Windows servers or workstations with 
accounts for global access.  We are very Unix based here.

   I guess I am not understanding whether this is a problem with the ldap 
server or the samba server at this point.  I see that some people use the 
ldap machine variable in smb.conf.  Since I don't care about Windows 
Domains, do I still need that variable?
