OpenLDAP+Samba in Ubuntu 8.10

Hey guys. I'm fairly new to Linux and am trying to set up the OpenLDAP/Samba DC for my home network but I'm trying to set it up on Hardy. I know there are some differences with 8.10 and am just wondering what tweaks I'll need to make to get it to work. The first problem I'm having is when I put in:

auth-client-config -a -p open_ldap​

I get the error message:

Error in updating the file: 'nss_netgroup' not found​

--​

Errors found. Aborting (no changes made)​

I'm sure this is a matter of something either not existing in 8.10 as it does in 7.10 or it's in a different place or something.

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

I suggest you to edit the profile that contains the information that is going to be used to add the new config to the authentication mecanisms. Edit /etc/auth-client-config/profile.d/open_ldap

Add the following line:
nss_netgroup=netgroup: compat ldap
You can add it where the other "nss_" lines are to keep things tidy.

Then retry. I suppose it will work. This happens on 8.10, I don't know about 9.04

Regards

 

Thanks. That worked for that one. Now I need to post my next problem....
