BUGS
- libpam-ldap
- debconf should be able to provide/suggest already used dc values like slapd debconf does
- Root login account should be cn=admin?
- libnss-ldap
- debconf should be able to provide/suggest already used dc values like slapd debconf does
- in fact it should use same config as libpam-ldap or at least look at it
- debconf sets base dc=padl,dc=com
- smbldap-tools
- README.Debian mentions 3. Optionally add indexes to optimize SAMBA access. This is not optional, leaving it out causes smbldap-populate to fail miserably.
- README.Debian tells to run net getlocalsid after changing samba config. This is wrong, since at that point the command will fail untill evertything is configured and working. This should be a job for debconf anyway.
FAQ
failed to add entry: modifications require authentication at /usr/sbin/smbldap-populate line 499
