How to get [
Samba]
3 working nicely with a [LDAP] backend.
-Samba 3 allows samba accounts to not have corresponding unix accounts. This is the first time a samba
has allowed this. However, I've not set it up so I won't go into that.
+Samba 3 allows samba accounts to not have corresponding unix accounts. This is the first time a Samba
has allowed this. However, I've not set it up so I won't go into that.
So this will - at first anyway - discuss setting up Samba 3 + LDAP in an environment where you already have LDAP handling your unix accounts. See [LDAPNotes] for information on that.
-I downloaded the source
.deb package from sarge
for the latest samba 2.999 build (
3.0 alpha 21 or something). It builds fine under woody, there were no sarge-specific dependencies
.
+[Debian] users: Samba
.org has [Woody] packages
for Samba
3; you can get it out of testing/unstable otherwise
.
Now go and read the excellent [LDAP-SMB-2.2/HEAD HOWTO|http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/ldap-smb-2_2-howto.html].
As I don't have much time atm, I'll leave it here. I know this page contains nearly 0 content, but I'll pad it out when I get more time.

-Samba 3 is in the final beta stage, they are about to start releasing RC's
. It has much better ADS
support, and also boasts a completely rewritten ldap schema, just to annoy those early adopters who played with the alpha series. They *do* provide a script to convert the two however :)
