7.3 and ldap

[Francisco Ruiz]

You guys kick major ass.  Here is the deal. I have a 7.3 machine running
samba 3.001 and I had it configured as a regular workgroup server.  I
need to configure it as a domain member and I need it to authenticate
users using LDAP, I need it to where I don't need to add users locally.
I have read the SAMBA how tos and some of the Openldap how tos, but it
seems the more I read the less I understand.  Can you help?

Boot in single user mode (enter "linux single" at the "boot:" prompt).
You then have to do some magic:

	cd /etc
	mv pam.conf pam.conf.backup (don't worry if pam.conf is missing)
	mv pam.d pam.d.backup
	mkdir pam.d
	cd pam.d
	echo "auth required pam_unix.so" >other
	echo "account required pam_unix.so" >>other
	echo "password required pam_unix.so" >>other
	echo "session required pam_unix.so" >>other

Yes, the first "echo" uses a single ">" the other three use two (">>").
You should be able to exit from single user mode and reboot and get
logged in.  Fix your stuff, then:

	cd /etc
	rm -rf pam.d
	mv pam.d.backup pam.d
	mv pam.conf.backup pam.conf

to restore the previous PAM setup.  And don't futz with ldap.conf unless
you know what you're doing!  ;-)  <snicker!>
