Lack of smbldap-tools package
Last modified: 2007-10-18 09:38:34 UTC
To use samba PDC with openldap is needed idealx smbldap-tools that was included in opensuse 10.1. In Opensuse 10.2 the package is under samba-documentation but smbldap-tools here isn't allowed because of lack of perl-Unicode-MapUTF8.pm, JCODE and Unicode::Map modules.

After this download following Unicode perl modules from the CPAN archives, installation instructions are in the tar archive. http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MS/MSCHWARTZ/Unicode-Map-0.112.tar.gz http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DA/DANKOGAI/Jcode-2.06.tar.gz http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SN/SNOWHARE/Unicode-MapUTF8-1.11.tar.gz The modules are dependencies for the latest smbldap-tools
Please consider to use ldapsmb. ldapsmb dynamicaly gathers the LDAP settings from smb.conf. Therefore less management overhead is required. Currently the script and manpage are packaged separately. Both pieces will be merged into the samba-client package soon. Please reopen if you see any drawback of this approach.
