Breaking it down more specifically, what values are needed for LDAP
authentication in SAMBA, in the smb.conf file? I have the following set in
/etc/sfw/smb.conf:
# Backend to store user information in. New installations should
# use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards
# compatibility. tdbsam requires no further configuration.
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://xxx.xx.x.x:xxx
ldap admin dn = ??=??,?=??,?=??
ldap group suffix = ou=groups
ldap user suffix = ou=people
ldap suffix = ?=??,?=??
ldap server = xxx.xx.x.xx
ldap port = 389
# ldap ssl = no
domain logons = no
The x's and ?'s are to mask the real IP addresses and sensitive LDAP
information. The smb.conf worked great when using /etc/passwd as the
authentication database.
Here's a bit from the SAMBA log.smbd log file, the same message repeated 15
times:
smbd/server.c:(1057)
ERROR: failed to setup guest info.
