I just joined the list because I dug this out of the archives. Has this been solved? I managed to get the idealx smbldap tools to to work (smbldap-populate at least) by completely replacing the rfc2307bis.schema with the nis.schema. What will the consequences of this be? specifically, how will it affect Yast, password policy, and other things that "make suse suse"? -s RE: [SLE] Samba + LDAP on SLES 9? *From:* Cody, Adam (/Adam.Cody_at_ricardo.com/) *Date:* Thu Oct 07 2004 - 19:58:02 CEST * *Next message:* Dean Landry: "RE: [SLE] Samba + LDAP on SLES 9?" http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Oct/0904.html * *Previous message:* Patrick B.

Dean asked: Has anyone successfully setup Samba with LDAP on SLES 9? No, and I've become very disappointed in SuSE in how they've arranged LDAP,SAMBA, and the smbldap tools. I'm debating going back to Mandrake or Redhat, even though I just fought for SuSE to become one of the company standards. What I can do so far is this: samba3+winbind trusting other NT domains using ACL's/EA on filesystem. What I need is to use LDAP for the backend, for winbind sharing of uid/gid from the trusted windows domain users. The two problems that appear to be screwing things up are the schema files SLES9 uses... include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/rfc2307bis.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/yast.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/samba3.schema The rfc2307bis.schema seems to break things apart. You can't include the NIS schema with it and the smbldap tools don't work with it or any form of "default" Suse settings in regards to ldap+samba. The second issue is the smbldap stuff. Without it, I can't get Administrator to do what I'd like it to do from a windows 2000 machine using the usrmgr.exe . Another possible issue is what Yast wants to do to the ldap directory in regards to the user/group default configuration settings. I've decided to rest a week after beating myself up with this for 2 weeks. Adam
