Hi, I have problems with following the instruction in the HOWTO:SAMBA document. I have RedHat 4.1.18, samba-3.0.10, and fedora-ds-7.1-2.RHEL4. I don't have ldap or openldap installed because I am using fedora-ds instead. I tested samba and fedora-ds, both seemed to work fine. I also made sure that samba's daemons (smbd, nmbd, winbindd), and fedora-ds were started I followed the steps in the HOWTO:SAMBA doc, when I reached the step "Populating FDS with PDC Entry" and ran the command: # net getlocalsid I got the message: lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_search_domain_info(1392) Adding domain info to SEFSC failed with NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL SID for domain MIAPOGO is : S-1-5-21-2139381707-154793685-3088283579 Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf ------------------------------ # Global parameters [global] workgroup = SEFSC netbios name = MIAPOGO server string = Samba %u on (%L) log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap dns proxy = No idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 cups options = raw security = user passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://miapogo.sefsc.noaa.gov ldap suffix = dc=sefsc,dc=noaa,dc=gov ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap group suffix = ou=Groups os level = 33 domain logons = yes domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes wins support = yes logon home = \\%L\%u\profiles logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u logon drive = H: template shell = /bin/false winbind use default domain = yes [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon read only = yes browseable = no [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No -------------------------- If I commentted out the line: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://miapogo.sefsc.noaa.gov then the command 'net getlocalsid' works. But I got more problems when I continued following the instructions in the HOWTO:SAMBA. Please help! Tom Tran
