To: "Support list for open source software in schools." <<a href="mailto:k12osn@redhat.com">k12osn@redhat.com</a>><br><br>For anyone who's curious, I got smbldap ala Matt Oquist up and going today. I did a fresh server install w/ Ubuntu 7.04 and then did a workstation install w/ Edubuntu 7.04 (server ed, installed as workstation). I got these directions from Tracy Taulman -- thanks Tracy! The only things that are not included are:
<br><br>1. You have to chown the home directories after you export them. We do "wsadmin" on the workstations and "administrator" on the server to avoid confusion.<br><br>2. smbldap-useradd and smbldap-passwd to create users by hand, if that is the method of choice, obviously. This is what I did to test the server -- added a few users quickly, just to see if this was all going to work or be for naught.
<br><br>3. Use Nautilus to create the folder on the server in /home and change the owner to owner of directory<br><br>4. I am manually adding a printer to each workstation -- haven't figured out how to send those jobs thru the server. Anyone have a fast tip on that?
<br><br><br>I don't have a high-powered server, but I do have 20 lovely computers w/ 40GB hd's. It is not the funnest in the world to maintain these, but it's not too bad. <br><br>Anyway, wanted to show you all how I used Matt's script -- no big whoop, I suppose, but I thought someone out there might find this useful.
