[K12OSN] SMBLDAP script with Fedora Core 4?

Fri Jul 8 05:43:04 UTC 2005

Matt,

I tried the alpha release of the script (using make all). But ... I had 
to add the following rpms for a fc4 release.

perl-Jcode-0.83-0.2.fc4.rf.i386.rpm
perl-Convert-BER-1.31.01-1.2.fc4.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-Unicode-Map-0.112-0.2.fc4.rf.i386.rpm

It then added the other missing rpms from included files, and appears to 
have successfully started.ldap, smbd, nmbd, nscd.  In fact, when I 
edited the smb.conf, ldap.conf, and slapd.conf files to try and 'fix' 
the authentication problem, re-running the script was able to correct 
the issue.  Still do not know why smbpasswd -w some_password and then 
making all the changes in all the conf files doesn't work, but .... que 
sera.

Now I just need to get webmin working so that I can add accounts (which 
can currently see the database, but can't add anything due to some 
authentication issue), or phpldapadmin (which can access the ldap 
server, and authenticates, but fails on adding accounts due to 
ObjectClass violation)  Also tried importing an ldif dump from the 
existing ldap server, but ... same ObjectClass error (even after running 
the convertSambaAccount script)

Still, some progress.

I tried the smbpasswd -w somethingnew  late last night, but it didn't change anything (p.s. do not use an  & in the password, the shell screws it up unless you also esc it with \ )
