As a test (on a temporary virtual machine), I tried using the smbldap
installer scripts with CentOS5 and I was able to get it to work. I wish I had
taken notes, but as I recall I added/activated the "rpmforge" repository and
installed the dependant packages *before* I ran the script, choosing CentOS
4.4 as the installation target. The idea was to minimize the number of
packages that smbldap-installer had to fetch by installing the versions that
were correct for CentOS, leaving only the configuration steps for the scripts
to perform. At any rate I was able to get it working.
