[K12OSN] Samba/LDAP ACL stuff....test it out for me..and help out as well

[David Trask]

Hi all,

Located here 
http://www.vcsvikings.org/linux/ACL-Stuff/smbldap-ACL-how-to.pdf    and 
here http://www.vcsvikings.org/linux/ACL-Stuff/smbldap-ACL-how-to.sxw   is
a quick doc I threw together with some ACL stuff I had been working on
last spring.  I documented what I did in this doc...it worked quite well
before, but I haven't tried it since.  Last time I tried it was with a
K12LTSP 4.2 system (FC3) and an earlier version of the smbldap-installer. 
I haven't had a chance to "bang on it", but would love it if some of you
would.  Give it a try, but NOT on a PRODUCTION SYSTEM as you will most
certainly hose it!  Use a sandbox.....what I normally use is a sandbox
(usually a regular desktop PC) and a Windows machine or two connected to
the sandbox as kind of a private LAN so I can test the domain and changing
Windows passwords....profiles...etc....without messing with the rest of my
network.  Maybe...with your help and ideas...we can get something working
that can easily be easily be dropped in on your existing system or at
least put into the smbldap-installer script so we can  have something in
place for the start of the school year.  No promises, but I'd sure like
you all to give it a try and see how it works for you....etc.  Keep me
(and everyone else) posted on your failures and successes....and once
again....DO NOT try this on a PRODUCTION system!  Thanks in advance for
your help!  :-)
