Hi, If you're considering using samba, ldap and Redhat 9, forget it. Spent all day yesterday trying to get RH9 samba srpm to compile with it and no go... I was under the impression that a lot of people use ldap to authenticate samba users for central authentication, at least I do... they are certainly going to be dissapointed if they try it with RH9. Don't really see why Redhat don't build samba with ldap support built in... it's hardly experimental any more... Really starting to lose the faith in Redhat these days... perhaps it's time to move on. Bill Dossett -------- Bill, I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems in getting LDAP authentication via Samba in Redhat 9; however, I assure you that it works correctly - we are in the process of migrating authentication from traditional windows servers to LDAP/Samba servers and have had no problems compiling either the current RH version of samba or the latest Stable build of samba for this project. Once we get past the automagically making the machine account problem with Samba 2.x, we're ready to rock and roll. Let me know if you would like a copy of the compiled samba source or the SPEC file and maybe that will make your life a little easier. In the meantime, check out http://samba.idealx.org 's How-to in getting LDAP/Samba authentication up and going.. It's a little outdated now, but it's still about 90% accurate and step-by-step oriented. Hope this helps! -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
