I'm currently going through chapter 5 of Samba-3 by Example, "Making
Users Happy"
Step 16 is where I get a hiccup. When I execute the command "pdbedit
-Lv" which according to the man page should list out all my users, I get
nothing back. All the previous steps have worked using one of my
existing LDAP account uids.
There seem to be extra things I need to have in my LDAP directory tree,
but I'm unsure how to get them there. The Samba installation is new, so
I can afford to mess things up there, but not in the existing LDAP
structure. I've googled 'adding ldap accounts to samba' and I've done a
search here on the list for anything related to LDAP. So far, nothing
I've been reading seems to apply. If I had no LDAP accounts there are
some migration commands that look appropriate, but none of them seem to
address the situation of having an already established LDAP directory.
OS is RHEL4
Samba is 3.0.26a-35
openldap is 2.2.13-7.4E
