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:
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.
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.
3.* Use Nautilus to create the folder on the server in /home and change the owner to owner of directory
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?
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.*
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.
Here are the steps that I worked out from before. They still look good
and should work just fine for you:
1. Install Edubuntu workstation option
2. On first boot do this:
*********** 1. Create
an 'administrator' user during install.
2. CTRL+ALT+F1,
login as admin
sudo
su -********* (<--- to become root)
mv
/home/administrator /admininistrator
usermod
-d
/administrator admininistrator
3. CTRL+ALT+F2,
login as
admininistrator to make sure things are working ok
3.* Logout and hit F7
to login to graphical
4. Change repositories in Synaptic Package
Manager (add
Universe and Multi-universe)
5. Put on all updates.
6. Reboot workstation
7. Download smbldap at http://majen.net/smbldap
****version 2.1 or so
8. Open the archive and extract it.
9. Open a terminal window and cd to
smbldap-installer
10. sudo ./smbldap ubuntuclient
11. sudo gedit /etc/udev/permissions.rules
*********** Find the
sound device section
*********** Add
MODE=”0666”, in front of GROUP=”audio”
12. Open Synaptic Package Manager and search for
portmap and
autofs
add and apply both
13. Configure the automounter to mount the home
directories
as needed.
*1. Edit
/etc/auto.master add:
*2. /home
/etc/auto.homes
--timeout=60
*3. Edit
/etc/auto.homes
*4. *
192.168.0.168:/home/&
14. Restart the computer and logon as a LDAP
client!
*
You will also need to set up the printer in the
lab and
change backgrounds. If you have trouble with that, let me know, but I
think you
remember that part.
Also, I figured out my wireless issues. D-Link uses channel bonding to
get their 108Mbps. So if you turn that off and drop to a standard
54Mbps, all is well on both.
