[K12OSN] SMBLDAP script with Fedora Core 4?

Fri Jul 8 01:48:33 UTC 2005

John,

I could deploy on FC3, but I (foolishly?) thought that FC4 wouldn't be 
such an issue.  Also, with K12TLSP moving to FC4, I was trying to get 
just a little ahead of the curve on this particular server since I hope 
to push the other 3 k12ltsp servers to fc4 in August.  But ... this is 
the price I guess.  Anyhow, just re-installed again and will try the 
alpha smbldap-installer script.  It is something to do with the silly 
secrets.tdb file not being accessed correctly.  LDAP starts and is 
working, just Samba isn't quite there.
