[K12OSN] SMB/LDAP Installer upgrades

[Mark Gumprecht]

Matt,
I've edited the distro file and added centos4, copied fc3 settings and 
then commented out the packages it said it couldn't find. I verified 
that everything that needed to be there is there. It works better than 
1.2.1 for centos4 up to step 18 ldapsearch. In 1.2.1 the slapcat command 
didn't work. In 2.0a it gives a return. 2.0a ldapsearch errors out with 
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1). That ended 
up being the selinux setting. I have the firewall off and had the se 
setting at warn. I shut that off and rebooted and I get the 
SASL/Digest-MD5 Authentication Started : Please enter Password, prompt. 
I had to change the path to smbldap- tools in the smb.conf file to 
/usr/sbin/ because I used a rpm that was made for rhel4. I've been able 
to follow the rest of the directions of 1.2.1 and have no problems. 
Thankyou for the new script.
Mark
