Description Oliver Schulze L. 2003-06-10 22:25:23 UTC
Description of problem:
It would be nice if samba in RH9 is compiled with ldap backend using the
--with-ldapsam
option in configure.sh

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba 2.2.7a-7.9.0

Additional info:
The current samba package already include ldap util in:
/usr/share/doc/samba-2.2.7a/LDAP/smbldap-tools/
but samba is not compiled with ldap sambdb support.

More info on samba+ldap:

Comment 1 Andrew Bartlett 2003-06-22 03:53:50 UTC
This would require the creation of a new package, as in Samba 2.2 you cannot
have both smbpasswd and LDAP support in the same binary.

This is fixed in Samba 3.0, which has a pluggable passdb backend system.

Thannks, I understand now.
Clossing as NEXTRELEASE.
