Talk:Howto setup SUSE as SAMBA PDC with OpenLDAP, DYNDNS and CLAM

From openSUSE

Wo ist denn der Befehl getnet zu finden.

getnet passwd

I've got a few problems with this page. First off, its WAAAYYYYYYYY to long for a single article. Also, it says "This document is released under Creative Commons licence". Considering this entire wiki is GFDL, I feel like this article was a cut and paste - which I don't mind, but it also says "can be used for any linux distribution". I don't think thats appropriate either for a SuSE wiki. It is what it is, and you would expect SuSE users to come here, and gentoo users to refer to gentoo.org. Also, the name is long, and rather disgusting. It should be "Samba", with a link to another article for OpenLDAP, etc, or atleast called "Samba as a PDC".

Either way, unless someone tells me otherwise, I will hack this one to bits into new articles, and once ready, I'll remove this article from Configuration. --CuCullin 12:57, 9 Dec 2005 (MST)

You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource (see Project:Copyrights for details). DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!

Dude your not erasing that. Waaay long but does it's wayyyy bitchy job too.

Hi,

Yeah sorry for latency of my reply but i am currently serving national military service and am unable to get inet acces very frequently. Indeed the article has been copy pasted from the tutorial that i wrote and originally posted on my website TUTORIAL.

I don't think this article really needs to be cut down in pieces because its purpose/objective is very clear as is its rather descriptive name which i intentionally made as it is. The note about its flexible nature to be configured with minor tweaks on any distri of choice can in my humble opinion be only interpreted as a positive effort to contribute to a cause that spans outside boundaries of opensuse community.

This article has been moved around this wiki from section to section, not by me but by users who most likely felt that it belongs to basic service configuration on suse as distri of choice.

Regards,
Daniel

Joe-barriere, the creative commons isn't really GFDL compatible, thats why I've commented on it. Everything on this site is GFDL or GFDL-friendly, because by being an article on this site is is GFDL'd. So if its noted as Creative Commons, and being released by the site under the GFDL... theres an issue.

Also, I didn't say I was going to "erase" the article. I said I wanted to spread it out and clean it up.

Daniel, I definitely appreciate the work on this one, I would just like to help clean it up if possible. For example, can we change the licensing comment?

Now, for the rest of the article... I think it can be trimmed down by posting links to the software referenced for information, as opposed to creating individual headings and comments. Also, some users may wish to just install Samba, OpenLDAP, BIND, etc. - I was thinking of saying "install OpenLDAP as noted here", with a link to an OpenLDAP article with install information; Then note any subsequent differences, or vice versa. This would trim up the article, and expand to other articles on the site that are in need of beefing up.

Thanks again,

It Would be Nice to see YAST being used too

While this article may be an effective cross-distro howto, it would be appropriate for this to be converted to a SUSE-centric article if it is going to live on this wiki.

Considering that YAST can do a lot of the configuring mentioned in the article without going into the config files directly, it would be nice to see it being used to do just that.

For an example of what I am talking about please look at the Novell Cool Solutions - SUSE Router Howto. Also, there is a guide by tweakhound that is along the same vein as this article. I believe that something in the spirit of those two articles would better achieve the intentions of this article.

Great article, but...

my roaming-profiles on the win-clients don't get written back after I logout. All the ldap/samba-stuff works fine, I can add and delete users, can manage groups and all the rest, but roaming profiles don't work. When I log into the domain with the win-client (win2000 or xp), no errors are being reported. Then I reboot the client and log in with a domain user. Everything seems to look fine, a profile-dir is beeing generated in /var/lib/samba/profiles/"$USERNAME". When I log out, I see that the client generates its profiles on the server (I see Desktop, NTUSER.DAT and all that stuff...), but I get the error that the roaming profile can't be accessed. After all next login-attempts, I get an error on logon, and windows says me that it can't use roaming profiles and that it will use local profiles.

I reinstalled the server twice, did all the steps in the tut 1:1 and now i'm frustrated...

The only two things that don't match with my current config and the config of the tut is that my Ldap "Manager" is named "root" and not "admin":

+::0:0::: request done: ld 0x5177c0 msgid 1 root:x:0:0:Netbios Domain Administrator:/home/root:/bin/false nobody:x:999:514:nobody:/dev/null:/bin/false rudi:x:1000:513:System User:/home/rudi:/bin/bash request done: ld 0x5177c0 msgid 2 metusalix$:*:1001:515:Computer:/dev/null:/bin/false request done: ld 0x5177c0 msgid 3

The second thing is that my "profiles"-share is not been visible when i make a lookup with smbclient -L localhost -N.

I don't use the bind/dhcpd-solution, i already have a dns/dhcp-demon on another server (dnsmasq iss much more easy and works better than bind/dhcpd in small networks). I tried the setup with bind/dhcpd, but it didn't make any differences. Altough I think that my local dns-lookups are working pretty fine :) ....

Can anyone help me???
