Bind Linux Samba Server to OD on Tiger Server

[Anonymous]

Hi experts!

I have an Xserve with 10.4.3 server, and OD is set up fine for Mac clients. I want the Mac clients to also access smb shares on a Linux system, authenticating against the Xserve. The basic LDAP setup on the linux machine is fine, as I can ssh into it using a username authenticated via LDAP.

When starting up Samba on the Linux machine, I get:

smbd/server.c:main(806)
  smbd version 3.0.20b-3.1-SUSE started.
  Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2005
lib/smbldap_util.c:add_new_domain_info(139)
  failed to add domain dn= sambaDomainName=xxxx,dc=domain,dc=com with: Invalid DN syntax
        invalid DN
lib/smbldap_util.c:smbldap_search_domain_info(199)
  Adding domain info for xxxx failed with NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

and slapd.log on the Xserve says:

Dec  9 15:25:03 yyyy slapd[56]: do_add: invalid dn (sambaDomainName=xxxx,dc=domain,dc=com)
Dec  9 15:25:03 yyyy slapd[56]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (sambaSID) index_param failed (18

smb.conf on the Linux machine has

        
ldap admin dn = uid=diradmin,cn=users,dc=yyyy,dc=domain,dc=com
ldap suffix = dc=yyyy,dc=com
ldap group suffix = cn=groups
ldap user suffix = cn=users
ldap machine suffix = cn=computers

I’ve been pulling my hairs on this one. Why can’t the Samba machine register itself on the LDAP server? Why is slapd complaining about the DN? The credentials seem OK. And “sambaDomainName” should be known on the LDAP server, shouldn’t it?
