Samba 3 upgrade
Got Samba upgraded on SHANTi to v3.0.5.
Some minor difficulties:
- The docs don’t state that the “ldap suffix” parameter is appended to “ldap groups suffix”, etc. parameters, so Samba was looking in “ou=Groups,dc=earlham,dc=edu,dc=earlham,dc=edu”. Bad idea. Changing the groups, etc. suffixes to just the top level (leaving off dc=earlham,dc=edu) solved the problem.
- The sambaGroupMapping object class in the Netscape schema files is incomplete. It does not specify sambaSIDList as an optional attribute. I had to both add the SambaSIDList attribute and then allow sambaGroupMapping to use it.
After these hurdles (which took longer than expected due to really crappy Samba documentation), everything seems to be working. Password changes are even working.
