I have samba 3.0.23a installed on K12LTSP5.0 How do I downgrade it to the recommended version? I tried "yum clean all" then "yum remove samba" then reinstalling smbldap-installer but it just picked up the latest version from K12LTSP repository. Also how do I run tools like smbldap-usershow... They are not in the default path. <div>On 02/08/06, Matt Oquist <<a href="mailto:moquist@majen.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> moquist@majen.net</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">> Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 12:16:04 -0400 > From: "Robert Moskowitz" < <a href="mailto:rgm@htt-consult.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">rgm@htt-consult.com</a>> > Subject: Re: [K12OSN] lessons learned on smb/ldap setup in centos4 > > After a long detour stepping my way into Linux (like first moving DNS > and Mail from NT server to Linux), I am back at converting my NT domain > to Linux. > > I am committed to Centos, which is now at 4.3 and very soon at 4.4. > > So I see that Centos is still not listed as a supported platform, but > then RedHat Enterprise is not listed either.... > Is the script mods listed below still apply (months later and newer > versions)? Just use the 'fc5' option, and when it complains about not being able to install something, find that package manually and install it. Then re-run the script and everything should be fine. I *believe* it's only one package that you'll have to find manually; once you figure out which on it is shoot me an email -- or, better yet, add a note to the wiki on a CentOSNotes page. > > Then I did the CPAN Bundle::install thing This shouldn't be necessary; there are RPMs available for all the required packages. > > Next, I ran the script(make all) and noted all the rpms it could not > > find. > I ASSuME that if I am missing some, getting them (I use yemex and have > DAG repos included) and restarting causes no harm.

The IP address is in several Samba/LDAP config files, so if you change the system IP address you have several files to hunt down and modify. > So I have set up a separate network where I can install, the IP > addresses are changed slightly, I hope this will not be a problem?

If you use hostnames instead of IP addresses when you run the configuration portion of the smbldap-installer, then you should be fine as long as those hosts are set in /etc/hosts. Would you mind adding this to the smbldap-installer documentation wiki? (Linked from <a href="http://majen.net/smbldap/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://majen.net/smbldap/ </a>) It would be great if other people knew how to do this. > If I have to set up a whole dummy DNS, I can, I have done it for things > like unlocking PAP2 boxes... This should only be necessary for the master/slave LDAP servers themselves. You may need to change /etc/exports yourself later if you change your IP address scheme, but using the smbldap-installer to help set up your export of /home is completely optional, anyway. > > 5.

The smbldap-installer tries to figure out where the smbldap-tools scripts get installed (the are usually not in $PATH on RH-based systems) and use them there. If they show up in a location that the script can't find, see distro_data.pm and add another entry with the correct path to @smbldap_tools_path, and then (please!) email me about it. > Should I just proceed?

My preference is always to use the package management system to install everything, but if you got your dependencies this way, it's probably fine. :) Beware of samba-3.0.23, which causes people problems on FC5; you may automatically get it when you update your system. --matt -- Open Source Software Engineering Consultant <a href="http://majen.net/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://majen.net/</a> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEz5sO3kS9TYiZBvMRAtamAKCWW/rOLzbOlH2dA2w/pWeeQxYtVgCdE1Tu bofq/97OvHV+LM/1f+dPqX0= =TaO4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <<a href="http://www.k12os.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.k12os.org</a>> </blockquote> </div>
