I am having trouble getting samba-3.0.24-11 setup as a PDC with an ldap backend using FDS on a FC6 test box. I have installed the 1.0.4-1 version of the directory server accepting the defaults except for the server name without any problems. I can query the directory server and it is populated with the proper objects. I am using the instructions in the Howto:Samba documentation on the FDS Wiki site <http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:Samba>. I am able to perform all of the tasks without any problems until I get to the part of the install that has me run the following command: pdbedit -U S-1-5-21-3420770344-727635258-2597706457-500 -u Administrator -r I receive the following error: smbldap_search_domain_info: Searching for:[(&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=DOMAIN))] smbldap_open_connection: connection opened ldap_connect_system: succesful connection to the LDAP server smbldap_search_domain_info: Searching for:[(&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=DOMAIN))] smbldap_open_connection: connection opened ldap_connect_system: succesful connection to the LDAP server Username not found! I can query the directory successfully with the following output: ldapsearch -b dc=test,dc=com -x 'Administrator' # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=test,dc=com> with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: Administrator # # test.com dn: dc=test,dc=com # Directory Administrators, test.com dn: cn=Directory Administrators, dc=test,dc=com # Groups, test.com dn: ou=Groups, dc=test,dc=com # People, test.com dn: ou=People, dc=test,dc=com # Special Users, test.com dn: ou=Special Users,dc=test,dc=com # Accounting Managers, groups, test.com dn: cn=Accounting Managers,ou=groups,dc=test,dc=com # HR Managers, groups, test.com dn: cn=HR Managers,ou=groups,dc=test,dc=com # QA Managers, groups, test.com dn: cn=QA Managers,ou=groups,dc=test,dc=com # PD Managers, groups, test.com dn: cn=PD Managers,ou=groups,dc=test,dc=com # DOMAIN, test.com dn: sambaDomainName=DOMAIN,dc=test,dc=com # Domain Admins, Groups, test.com dn: cn=Domain Admins,ou=Groups,dc=test,dc=com # Domain Users, Groups, test.com dn: cn=Domain Users,ou=Groups,dc=test,dc=com # Domain Guests, Groups, test.com dn: cn=Domain Guests,ou=Groups,dc=test,dc=com # Domain Computers, Groups, test.com dn: cn=Domain Computers,ou=Groups,dc=test,dc=com # IS, Groups, test.com dn: cn=IS,ou=Groups,dc=test,dc=com # Administrator, People, test.com dn: uid=Administrator,ou=People,dc=test,dc=com # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 17 # numEntries: 16 Here is a copy of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = DOMAIN security = user passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://vandread.test.com ldap admin dn = cn=Directory Manager ldap suffix = dc=test,dc=com ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap machine suffix = ou=People ldap group suffix = ou=Groups log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log log level = 3 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 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 = no winbind nested groups = no enable privileges = yes #============================ Share Definitions ============================== [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon admin users = +sysadmin guest ok = no browseable = no writable = no [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles admin users = +sysadmin read only = no guest ok = no create mask =0600 directory mask = 0700 I am sure that there is something I am doing wrong but I can't find it. Nothing shows up in slapd-server/logs/access or errors or the samba log.
