mandriva directory server on debian lenny

I am trying to install mds on lenny without success.
http://www.howtoforge.com/mandriva-directory-server-on-debian-etch is not suffcient to install on lenny.
I start this thread to collect some notes and corrections to this howto.

Notes:

is wrong. In lenny libsasl2, unzoo and dcc-client are not avaliable.
libsasl2 should be changed in libsasl2-2. For the others 2, they should be delisted.

For unzoo on lenny, please see this

For dcc-client please see this

 

using backend bdb is wrong, using it i get errors.
Instead, with hdb backend slapdcat does work fine.

 

during installation, dpkg-config doeas create slapd db and initialize it, thus it is recommended to use hdb instead of bdb

 

unzoo

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=unzoo

unzoo is available for etch and sid, no lenny

 

as soon as you issue:

do not run to check if Administrator account was created issuing:
pdbedit -L -v

but be quite and continue with

After rebboting, issuing

u will get:
Administrator:x:0:512:Netbios Domain Administrator:/home/Administrator:/bin/false

at last, Domain Administrator is there!

 

thanq you!

That's good news, but you mange to have a fully working server on debian lenny with mds?!

I 've search over the internet for a fully installation tutorial, but with no succes.

 

...

I did find this link: http://www.vogelweith.com/debian_server/07_postfix.php

 

I was not interested into postfix and mail system, what I tried to get was samb+ldap as Domain Controller, not more not less.

And at the end, I got it.

 

Hy!

Thanq for your reply!

What about missing package?
How stable is your server? I mean I you update mmc with new version it is ok.
How did you rezolv with poledit for windows xp pc.
I 've ry to join on samba domain a linux station, but no succes, to e more exactly: ubuntu desktop using likewize wizard.
