The /etc/YaST2/ProductFeatures file needs to be updated – under [globals] the ui_mode = ”simple” needs to be changed to ui_mode = ”expert”. Once this change is made, two new tabs appear in the yast2-samba-server module (“Trusted Domains” and “LDAP Settings”) and the Samba Plug-Ins show up in the yast2-users module (“Manage samba account parameters” and “Manage Samba attribute of LDAP groups”). Once the ui_mode is updated, the yast2-samba-server module writes the smb.conf file correctly. I am so relieved I finally figured this out. I have been trying for months to get Samba, User and Group Management, Dynamic DNS, and Dynamic DHCP, integrated with LDAP and TLS/SSL, without any success. Finally, today I was successful at joining a Windows XP Pro client to a openSUSE primary domain controller without using any third party software such as smbldap-tools. I am so happy about this, that I have started a how-to guide and will submit this to the openSUSE Wiki. It is amazing this entire complex system can be setup with the YaST GUI. The only time I had to use the terminal is to store the LDAP admin password in secrets.tbd with “smbpasswd -w secret”, store the Samba SID in secrets.tdb with “net rpc getsid”, and "touch /etc/named.conf.include" to workaround Bug #455888 - named.conf.include missing. It is truly amazing that YaST can setup this complex system with just a few clicks of a mouse. After working with RedHat Enterprise Linux for years and spending so much time tediously working at the command-line, it is refreshing working with YaST on the SUSE platform. There is nothing better than a well-polished, intuitive GUI to rapidly configure the underlying parts of the operating system. All I can say is thank you to all the developers who work on the SUSE project and release openSUSE to the public for free. SUSE Linux is going to make Novell #1 someday. I predict in the future the “big three” in the software industry will be Novell, RedHat, and Microsoft, in that order. Microsoft is not going to be #1 forever. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
