Hello Folks, The pdbedit tool seems to use the 'Historical' atributes that are now deprecated in the samba.schema shipped with Samba. When I used this command to import my old SMBPASSWD file into LDAP I get error messages complaining about missing attributes. I had to uncomment then in the samba.schema: attributetype: ************* lmPassword ntPassword acctFlags pwdLastSet logonTime logoffTime kickoffTime pwdCanChange pwdMustChange homeDrive scriptPath profilePath userWorkstations smbHome domain rid primaryGroupID objectclass: ************ smbPasswordEntry sambaAccount smbPasswordEntry I know this is a quick fix... I'll try to delve into the pdbedit source to see if I can figure out how to put the proper references... Bye.
Please ignore this report. I compiled with '--with-ldapsam' instead of '--with-ldap'. Very sorry to have wasted your time ;-(
sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
