Everything goes fine until this part of smbldap configure. It seems to be looking for Crypt/SmbHash but can't find it. cp "/etc/opt/IDEALX/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf" "/etc/opt/IDEALX/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf-Mon_Jan__1_01_42_55_2007.bak" Running smbldap-populate... printf "password\npassword" | smbldap-populate -a root -u 10000 -g 10000 Can't locate Crypt/SmbHash.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/IDEALX/sbin/ /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /opt/IDEALX/sbin//smbldap_tools.pm line 5, <DATA> line 225.

I ran this command to try to find where this file is [root@k12ltsp1 smbldap-installer]# locate SmbHash.pm /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/Crypt/SmbHash.pm I then created a link #ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/Crypt /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Crypt/ Was this a good idea? Now when I run it complains it can find the domain SID. [root@k12ltsp1 smbldap-installer]# /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap_tools.pm Unable to determine domain SID: please edit your smbldap.conf, or start your samba server for a few minutes to allow for SID generation to proceed What now? Thanks. Happy New Year. Krsnendu dasa
