[Samba] Re: vampire failed for undefiled value sambaSID

[ksun at ABINITIO.COM]

Greetings,
        The problem I had ""Can't call method "get_value" on an undefined 
value 'smbaSID'"  was due to the fact the initial ldap was not preloaded 
to have enough entries. I don't know what entry was missing.
        According to Samba-3 by Examples, Chapter 8, I preloaded the ldap 
with the preload.LDIF file and then start the migration; I got the 
sambaSID undefined error.
        Now I run .smbldap-populate.pl, to populate the ldap database, 
certain entries are preexiting, the vampring process seems to create all 
users, except for every users, I got

        "Creating account: bromley
        [2004/07/22 13:14:11, 0] 
passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_add_sam_account(1573)
        ldapsam_add_sam_account: User 'bromley' already in the base, with 
samba attributes"

        Does this message matter?

The preload.LDIF has the following entry, would somebody please tell me 
what entry is missing? Thanks!

Greetings!

Vampaire process is running, but it failed create accounts for everyone. 
The error message is 
                       "Can't call method "get_value" on an undefined 
value at /var/lib/samba/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl line 152."

And I looked at the mentioned file and the line is
        $userGroupSID = $group_entry->get_value('sambaSID');

I am following examples in "Samba-3 by Examples".
Configuration:
        Fedora Core 2
        Samba-3.0.3 that came with Fedora Core 2
        smbldap-tools that came with Samba-3.0.3

It looks like it is the smbldap-tools issue.  I briefly looks at the two 
pm files but cannot figure out where it went wrong.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
