Hello I am trying to use samba with Fedora Directory Server as it's backend, I am currently trying to configure samba to work with Fedora Directory Server using this guide: http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:Samba#Samba_.26_Fedora_Dire... erver_Integration. My eventual goal is to have a Fedora Directory Server using Samba where XP clients can log in with pGina(pgina.org), and a logon script from samba will automatically mount their personal network drive, but first I am told that I need to configure samba for Fedora Directory Server. I don't know if I have everything up until this point configured correctly but I assume it is because I have been following the guide and I haven't had any errors. This is where I hit a brick wall. At the section of Populating FDS with PDC Entry, here is my console and the files I used: [root@daneshea ~]# net getlocalsid SID for domain SHEA is: S-1-5-21-578281780-2648695933-2708965967 [root@daneshea ~]# gedit /tmp/sambaDomainName.ldif sambaDomainName.ldif: dn: sambaDomainName=SHEA,dc=com objectclass: sambaDomain objectclass: sambaUnixIdPool objectclass: top sambaDomainName: SHEA sambaSID: S-1-5-21-578281780-2648695933-2708965967 uidNumber: 550 gidNumber: 550 [root@daneshea ~]# /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-daneshea/ldif2ldap "cn=Directory manager" password /tmp/sambaDomainName.ldif ldap_simple_bind: Can't connect to the LDAP server - Invalid argument [root@daneshea ~]# I don't know if my smb.conf is affecting it but I think I have it configured correctly, as you can see I have five users that need their network drives mounted automatically Global parameters [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = SHEA server string = Shea Server map to guest = Bad User log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 preferred master = yes local master = yes domain master = yes dns proxy = No security = user passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://192.168.1.109 ldap admin dn = cn=Directory Manager ldap suffix = dc=com ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap group suffix = ou=Groups domain logons = yes os level = 24 logon script = %U.bat logon home = \\home\%u\ logon path = \\home\%u\ logon drive = P: template shell = /bin/false winbind use default domain = no [netlogon] comment = The domain logon service path = /export/samba/logon public = no writeable = no browsable = no # Share [Chance] path = /home/CShea public = yes writeable = yes [Dane] path = /home/DShea public = yes writeable = yes [Berit] path = /home/BShea public = yes writeable = yes [Dale] path = /home/DLShea public = yes writeable = yes [Savanah] path = /home/SShea public = yes writeable = yes -- Thanks Dane Shea
