Halloo! I am attempting to migrate an existing OpenLDAP directory to FDS 1.01. I had extended the OL setup with samba.schema and had imported a bunch of existing Samba data with scripts. This is all on Fedora Core 3. I was motivated to migrate by 1) the console apps and 2) better ACI mgmt; I figured both of these might better support a better self-service directory model where people can edit some of their own details. I have FDS running and just got console running. I found the script to convert samba.schema to FDS LDIF format and that seemed to work a treat. However, on startup, FDS seems to completely ignore my "61samba.ldif". Worse, it seems not to notice any errors. What this measn is that I am not able to import any users (and other elements) from my OL directory as they have various samba* attributes. The rest of the XXname.ldif schema files seem to be processing just fine. I have audited some of the last to load 50ns-web, 50ns-calendar and 60pam-plugin, and all of their attributes appear in the listing I can find via the console (or phpLDAPadmin). I saw nothing in the slapd-servername/logs/* so I increased error loglevel to 192 and then to some ridiculous combined value from the debug table in the FAQ. I never see any reference to problems processing "61samba" -- the only errors I can generate with "samba" in them are when I attempt to add users "has unknown object class 'sambaSamAccount'", for example. I changed 61samba.ldif to 21samba.ldif to see if this problem was order-dependent. No change. For grins, I added a junk ldif called 59nonsense.ldif and I couldn't get *that* to generate any lines in the "errors" log file or anywhere that I can tell. "service ldap restart" just seems to go on its merry way. It is like the ancillary LDIF list doesn't exist or something. So, for fun I *copied* one of the LDIF schema files to "59nonsense.ldif" and figured I would see log complaints about duplicate attributes, but *nothing*. and nothing in debug log. slapd restarts without a hitch. Anyhow, FDS looks great and I am sure it will be a lot of fun, but at the moment, I think I am missing some *big*, dope-slap-worthy item -- some big, red switch that says "COMMIT" that I need to flip! Thoughts? Thanks. Jim -- /*********************************************************/ Jim Hogan jimh *A T* u *DO T* washington *D OT* edu /*********************************************************/
