i'm using fedora directory on rhel 4.0 and i'm trying to set the server up so that it can be a windows (ick) pdc. the documentation "how-to" is very clear and things went well until i tried to get the local SID. after issuing the command: net getlocalsid, i got two sets of error messages, both suggesting that in couldn't find the ldap server. i can authenticate on the server using ldap, but samba doesn't seem to be able to find it. any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated, thanks, steve Steve Strong Computer Science Teacher Washington High School 2205 Forest Dr. SE Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52403 http://crwash.org mailto:sstrong at crwash.org
