I am interested in this as well. I have had the same problem. Everything looks good but still can't join the domain.

Not sure if YaST does this for you but you need DNS records for your windoze boxes to find the PDC. For my domain called 'rci' I serve out: _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.rci. 20 IN SRV 0 100 389 ldap-1.redcondor.com. _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.rci. 20 IN SRV 0 100 389 ldap-2.redcondor.com. ldap-1 is my PDC and ldap-2 is my BDC

On the surface, it looks fairly straightforward to configure a samba PDC with OpenLDAP using Yast. Has anyone done this, and do you still need to go in and edit the config files afterwards? I experimented with this yesterday, but was unable to get my PC to join the domain I set up.

Thanks,

Let's say your windoze domain name is different than your DNS domain name. You need a new zone setup in your DNS name server. The windoze boxes will bark out SRV lookups for: _ldap._tcp.dc_msdcs.DOMAIN. you need to answer with your PDC I use weights of 0 and 100, and port 389 ... as seen above.
