  <title>Making Happy Users</title>

	It has been said, <quote>A day that is without troubles is not fulfilling.  Rather, give 
	me a day of troubles well handled so that I can be content with my achievements.</quote>
	</para>

	<para>
	In the world of computer networks, problems are as varied as the people who create them
	or experience them. The design of the network implemented in the last chapter may 
	create problems for some network users. The following lists some of the problems that
	may occur:
	</para>

	<indexterm><primary>PDC</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>network bandwidth</primary><secondary>utilization</secondary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>BDC</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>user account</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>PDC/BDC ratio</primary></indexterm>
<caution><para>
Notice: A significant number of network administrators have responded to the guidance given
below. It should be noted that there are sites that have a single PDC for many hundreds of
concurrent network clients. Network bandwidth, network bandwidth utilization, and server load
are among the factors that will determine the maximum number of Windows clients that
can be served by a single domain controller (PDC or BDC) on a network segment. It is possible
to operate with only a single PDC over a routed network. What is possible is not necessarily
<emphasis>best practice</emphasis>. When Windows client network logons begin to fail with
the message that the domain controller can not be found, or that the user account can not
be found (when you know it exists), that may be an indication that the DC is overloaded or
network bandwidth is overloaded. The guidance given in respect of PDC/BDC ratio to Windows
clients is conservative and if followed will minimize problems - but it is not absolute.
</para></caution>

	<variablelist>
		<varlistentry>
		<term>Users experiencing difficulty logging onto the network</term>
		<listitem><para>
		<indexterm><primary>network</primary><secondary>logon</secondary></indexterm>
		<indexterm><primary>multiple domain controllers</primary></indexterm>
		When a Windows client logs onto the network, many data packets are exchanged
		between the client and the server that is providing the network logon services.
		Each request between the client and the server must complete within a specific
		time limit. This is one of the primary factors that govern the installation of
		multiple domain controllers (usually called secondary or backup controllers).
		As a rough rule, there should be one such backup controller for every
		30 to 150 clients. The actual limits are determined by network operational
		characteristics. 
		</para>

		<para>
		If the domain controller provides only network logon services
		and all file and print activity is handled by Domain Member servers, one Domain	
		Controller per 150 clients on a single network segment may suffice. In any
		case, it is highly recommended to have a minimum of one Domain Controller (PDC or BDC)
		per network segment. It is better to have at least one BDC on the network
		segment that has a PDC. If the Domain Controller is also used as a file and
		print server, the number of clients it can service reliably is reduced
		and a common rule is not to exceed 30 machines (Windows workstations plus
		Domain Member servers) per Domain Controller.

		<term>Slow logons and log-offs</term>
		<listitem><para>
		<indexterm><primary>slow logon</primary></indexterm>
		Slow logons and log-offs may be caused by many factors that include:

			<itemizedlist>
				<listitem><para>
				<indexterm><primary>NetBIOS</primary><secondary>name resolution</secondary>
					<tertiary>delays</tertiary></indexterm>
				<indexterm><primary>WINS</primary><secondary>server</secondary></indexterm>
				Excessive delays in the resolution of a NetBIOS name to its IP
				address. This may be observed when an overloaded domain controller 
				is also the WINS server. Another cause may be the failure to use
				a WINS server (this assumes that there is a single network segment).
				</para></listitem>

				<listitem><para>
				<indexterm><primary>traffic collisions</primary></indexterm>
				<indexterm><primary>HUB</primary></indexterm>
				<indexterm><primary>ethernet switch</primary></indexterm>
				Network traffic collisions due to overloading of the network
				segment &smbmdash; one short-term workaround to this may be to replace
				network HUBs with ethernet switches.
				</para></listitem>

				<listitem><para>
				<indexterm><primary>networking hardware</primary>
					<secondary>defective</secondary></indexterm>
				Defective networking hardware. Over the past few years, we have seen
				on the Samba mailing list a significant increase in the number of
				problems that were traced to a defective network interface controller,
				a defective HUB or Ethernet switch, or defective cabling. In most cases,
				it was the erratic nature of the problem that ultimately pointed to
				the cause of the problem.
				</para></listitem>

				<listitem><para>
				<indexterm><primary>profile</primary>
					<secondary>roaming</secondary></indexterm>
				<indexterm><primary>MS Outlook</primary>
					<secondary>PST file</secondary></indexterm>
				Excessively large roaming profiles. This type of problem is typically
				the result of poor user eduction, as well as poor network management.
				It can be avoided by users not storing huge quantities of email in
				MS Outlook PST files, as well as by not storing files on the desktop.
				These are old bad habits that require much discipline and vigilance
				on the part of network management.
				</para></listitem>

				<listitem><para>
				<indexterm><primary>WebClient</primary></indexterm>
				You should verify that the Windows XP WebClient service is not running.
				The use of the WebClient service has been implicated in many Windows
				networking related problems.

		<varlistentry>
		<term>Loss of access to network drives and printer resources</term>
		<listitem><para>
		Loss of access to network resources during client operation may be caused by a number
		of factors including:
		</para>

			<itemizedlist>
				<listitem><para>
				<indexterm><primary>network</primary><secondary>overload</secondary></indexterm>
				Network overload (typically indicated by a high network collision rate)
				</para></listitem>

				<listitem><para>
				Server overload
				</para></listitem>

				<listitem><para>
				<indexterm><primary>network</primary><secondary>timeout</secondary></indexterm>
				Timeout causing the client to close a connection that is in use, but has
				been latent (no traffic) for some time (5 minutes or more)
				</para></listitem>

				<listitem><para>
				<indexterm><primary>network hardware</primary><secondary>defective</secondary></indexterm>
				Defective networking hardware
				</para></listitem>
			</itemizedlist>

		<para>

		Data corruption is one of the most serious problems. It leads to uncertainty, anger, and 
		frustration, and generally precipitates immediate corrective demands. Management response
		to this type of problem may be rational, as well as highly irrational. There have been
		cases where management has fired network staff for permitting this situation to occur without 
		immediate correction. There have been situations where perfectly functional hardware was thrown 
		out and replaced, only to find the problem caused by a low-cost network hardware item. There 
		have been cases where server operating systems were replaced, or where Samba was updated, 
		only to later isolate the problem due to defective client software.

<title>Regarding LDAP Directories and Windows Computer Accounts</title>

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>LDAP</primary><secondary>directory</secondary></indexterm>
	Computer (machine) accounts can be placed where ever you like in an LDAP directory subject to some 
	constraints that are described in this section.
	</para>

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>POSIX</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>SambaSAMAccount</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>machine account</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>trust account</primary></indexterm>
	The POSIX and SambaSAMAccount components of computer (machine) accounts are both used by Samba. 
	i.e.: Machine  accounts are treated inside Samba in the same way that Windows NT4/200X treats 
	them. A user account and a machine account are indistinguishable from each other, except that
	the machine account ends in a '$' character, as do trust accounts.
	</para>

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>account</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>UID</primary></indexterm>
	The need for Windows user, group, machine, trust, etc. accounts to be tied to a valid UNIX UID
	is a design decision that was made a long way back in the history of Samba development. It is 
	unlikely that this decision will be reversed of changed during the remaining life of the 
	Samba-3.x series. 
	</para>

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>SID</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>NSS</primary></indexterm>
	The resolution of a UID from the Windows SID is achieved within Samba through a mechanism that
	must refer back to the host operating system on which Samba is running. The name service
	switch (NSS) is the preferred mechanism that shields applications (like Samba) from the
	need to know everything about every host OS it runs on.
	</para>

	<para>
	Samba asks the host OS to provide a UID via the <quote>passwd</quote>, <quote>shadow</quote>
	and <quote>group</quote> facilities in the NSS control (configuration) file. The best tool
	for achieving this is left up to the UNIX administrator to determine. It is not imposed by
	Samba. Samba provides winbindd together with its support libraries as one method. It is
	possible to do this via LDAP - and for that Samba provides the appropriate hooks so that
	all account entities can be located in an LDAP directory.
	</para>

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>nss_ldap</primary></indexterm>
	For many the weapon of choice is to use the PADL nss_ldap utility. This utility must
	be configured so that computer accounts can be resolved to a POSIX/UNIX account UID. That
	is fundamentally an LDAP design question.  The information provided on the Samba list and
	in the documentation is directed at providing working examples only. The design
	of an LDAP directory is a complex subject that is beyond the scope of this documentation.

	<title>Introduction</title>

	<para>
	Mr. Bob Jordan just opened an email from Christine that reads:
	</para>

	<para>
	Bob,
	<blockquote><attribution>Christine</attribution><para>
	A few months ago we sat down to design the network. We discussed the challenges ahead and we all
	agreed to compromise our design to keep it simple. We knew there would be problems, but anticipated
	that we would have some time to resolve any issues that might be encountered.
	</para>

	<para>
	As you now know we started off on the wrong foot. We have a lot of unhappy users. One of them
	resigned yesterday afternoon because she was under duress to complete some critical projects. She
	suffered a blue screen of death situation just as she was finishing four hours of intensive work, all
	of which was lost. She has a unique requirement that involves storing large files on her desktop.
	Mary's desktop profile is nearly 1 Gigabyte in size. As a result of her desktop configuration, it
	takes her nearly 15 minutes just to log onto her workstation. But that is not enough. Because all
	network logon traffic passes over the network links between our buildings, logging on may take
	three or four attempts due to blue screen problems associated with network timeouts.
	</para>

	<para>
	A few of us worked to help her out of trouble. We convinced her to stay and promised to fully 
	resolve the difficulties she is facing. We have no choice. We must implement LDAP and set hard 
	limits on what our users can do with their desktops. If we do not do this, we face staff losses 
	that can surely do harm to our growth, as well as to staff morale. I am sure we can better deal 
	with the consequences of what we know we must do than we can with the unrest we have now.
	</para>

	<para>
	Stan and I have discussed the current situation. We are resolved to help our users and protect
	the well being of Abmas. Please acknowledge this advice with consent to proceed as required to
	regain control of our vital IT operations.
	</para></blockquote>

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>compromise</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>network</primary><secondary>multi-segment</secondary></indexterm>
	Every compromise has consequences. Having a large routed (i.e., multi-segment) network with only a
	single domain controller is a poor design that has obvious operational effects that may
	frustrate users. Here is Bob's reply:
	<blockquote><attribution>Bob</attribution><para>
	Christine, Your diligence and attention to detail are much valued. Stan and I fully support your
	proposals to resolve the issues. I am confident that your plans fully realized will significantly
	boost staff morale. Please go ahead with your plans. If you have any problems, please let me know.
	Please let Stan know what the estimated cost will be so I can approve the expense. Do not wait
	for approval; I appreciate the urgency.

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>BDC</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>LDAP</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>OpenLDAP</primary></indexterm>
	The implementation of Samba BDCs necessitates the installation and configuration of LDAP.
	For this site, you use OpenLDAP, the open source software LDAP server platform. Commercial
	LDAP servers in current use with Samba-3 include:
	</para>

	<listitem><para>
	<indexterm><primary>Tivoli Directory Server</primary></indexterm>
		IBM <ulink url="http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/directory-server/">Tivoli Directory Server,</ulink>
		can be used to provide the Samba LDAP backend. Example schema files are provided in the Samba 
		source code tarball under the directory <filename>~samba/example/LDAP.</filename>
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	<indexterm><primary>Sun ONE Identity Server</primary></indexterm>
		Sun <ulink url="http://www.sun.com/software/sunone/identity/index.html">ONE Identity Server.</ulink>
		This product suite provides an LDAP server that can be used for Samba. Example schema files are 
		provided in the Samba source code tarball under the directory <filename>~samba/example/LDAP.</filename>
	</para></listitem>
	</itemizedlist>

	<para>
	A word of caution is fully in order. OpenLDAP is purely an LDAP server and unlike commercial
	offerings, it requires that you manually edit the server configuration files and manually
	initialize the LDAP directory database. OpenLDAP itself has only command line tools to
	help you to get OpenLDAP and Samba-3 running as required, albeit with some learning curve challenges.
	</para>

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>Active Directory</primary></indexterm>
	For most sites, the deployment of Microsoft Active Directory from the shrink-wrapped installation is quite
	adequate. If you are migrating from Microsoft Active Directory, be
	warned that OpenLDAP does not include
	GUI-based directory management tools. Even a simple task such as adding users to the OpenLDAP database 
	requires an understanding of what you are doing, why you are doing it, and the tools that you must use.

	<indexterm><primary>directory</primary><secondary>schema</secondary></indexterm>
	When installed and configured, an OpenLDAP Identity Management backend for Samba functions well. 
	High availability operation may be obtained through directory replication/synchronization and 
	master/slave server configurations. OpenLDAP is a mature platform to host the organizational 
	directory infrastructure that can include all UNIX accounts, directories for electronic mail, and much more. 
	The price paid through learning how to design an LDAP directory schema in implementation and configuration 
	of management tools is well rewarded by performance and flexibility, and the freedom to manage directory
	contents with greater ability to back up, restore, and modify the directory than is generally possible
	with Microsoft Active Directory.

	<indexterm><primary>Active Directory</primary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>OpenLDAP</primary></indexterm>
	A comparison of OpenLDAP with Microsoft Active Directory does not do justice to either. OpenLDAP is an LDAP directory
	tool-set. Microsoft Active Directory Server is an implementation of an LDAP server that is largely pre-configured
	for a specific task orientation. It comes with a set of administrative tools that is entirely customized
	for the purpose of running MS Windows applications that include file and print services, Microsoft Exchange
	server, Microsoft SQL server, and more. The complexity of OpenLDAP is highly valued by the UNIX administrator
	who wants to built a custom directory solution. Microsoft provides an application called 
	<ulink url="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/adam/default.mspx">
	MS ADAM</ulink> that provides more-generic LDAP services, yet it does not have the vanilla-like services
	of OpenLDAP.
	</para>

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>directory</primary><secondary>schema</secondary></indexterm>
	<indexterm><primary>passdb backend</primary></indexterm>
	You may wish to consider out-sourcing the development of your OpenLDAP directory to an expert, particularly
	if you find the challenge of learning about LDAP directories, schemas, configuration, and management
	tools, and the creation of shell and Perl scripts a bit
	challenging. OpenLDAP can be easily customized, though it includes
	many ready-to-use schemas. Samba-3 provides an OpenLDAP schema file
	that is required for use as a passdb backend.
	</para>

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>interoperability</primary></indexterm>
	For those who are willing to brave the process of installing and configuring LDAP and Samba-3 interoperability,
	there are a few nice Web-based tools that may help you to manage your users and groups more effectively.
	The Web-based tools you might like to consider include: The
	<ulink url="http://lam.sourceforge.net/">LDAP Account Manager</ulink> (LAM), as well as the
	<ulink url="http://www.webmin.com">Webmin</ulink>-based Idealx
	<ulink url="http://webmin.idealx.org/index.en.html">CGI tools.</ulink>
	</para>

	<para>
	Some additional LDAP tools should be mentioned. Every so often a Samba user reports using one of 
	these so it may be useful to include passing reference to them. 
	The first is <ulink url="http://biot.com/gq">GQ</ulink>, a GTK-based LDAP browser; 
	LDAP <ulink url="http://www.iit.edu/~gawojar/ldap/">Browser/Editor,</ulink> 
	<ulink url="http://www.jxplorer.org/">JXplorer</ulink> (by Computer Associates),
	and the last is called <ulink url="http://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/">phpLDAPadmin.</ulink>
	</para>

	<note><para>
	The following prescriptive guidance is not an LDAP tutorial. The LDAP implementation expressly uses minimal
	security controls. No form of secure LDAP communications is attempted. The LDAP configuration information provided
	is considered to consist of the barest essentials only. You are strongly encouraged to learn more about
	LDAP before attempting to deploy it in a business-critical environment.

	Mary's problems are due to two factors. First, the absence of a domain controller on the local network is the
	main cause of the errors that result in blue screen crashes. Second, Mary has a large profile that must
	be loaded over the wide-area network connection. This addition of BDCs on each network segment significantly
	improves overall network performance for most users, but this is not enough. You must gain control over
	user desktops, and this must be done in a way that wins their support and does not cause further loss of
	staff morale. The following procedures solve this problem.

	<para>
	<indexterm><primary>smart printing</primary></indexterm>
	There is also an opportunity to implement smart printing features. You add this to the Samba configuration
	so that future printer changes can be managed without need to change desktop configurations.
	</para>

	<para>
	You add the ability to automatically download new printer drivers, even if they are not installed 
	in the default desktop profile. Only one example of printing configuration is given. It is assumed that
	you can extrapolate the principles and use this to install all printers that may be needed.

		<title>Roaming Profile Background</title>

		<para>
		As XP roaming profiles grow, so does the amount of time it takes to log in and out.

		<indexterm><primary>HKEY_CURRENT_USER</primary></indexterm>
		<indexterm><primary>NTUSER.DAT</primary></indexterm>
		<indexterm><primary>%USERNAME%</primary></indexterm>
		An XP Roaming Profile consists of the <constant>HKEY_CURRENT_USER</constant> hive file
		<filename>NTUSER.DAT</filename> and a number of folders (My Documents, Application Data,
		Desktop, Start Menu, Templates, NetHood, Favorites, and so on).  When a user logs onto the 
		network with the default configuration of MS Windows NT/200x/XPP, all this data is 
		copied to the local machine under the <filename>C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%</filename>
		directory. While the user is logged in, any changes made to any of these folders or to the
		<constant>HKEY_CURRENT_USER</constant> branch of the registry are made to the local copy
		of the profile.  At logout the profile data is copied back to the server. This behavior
		can be changed through appropriate registry changes and/or through changes to the Default
		User profile. In the latter case, it updates the registry with the values that are set in the
		profile <filename>NTUSER.DAT</filename>
		file.
		</para>

		<para>
		The first challenge is to reduce the amount of data that must be transferred to and 
		from the profile server as roaming profiles are processed.  This includes removing 
		all the shortcuts in the Recent directory, making sure the cache used by the web browser 
		is not being dumped into the <filename>Application Data</filename> folder, removing the 
		Java plug-ins cache (the .jpi_cache directory in the profile), as well as training the 
		user to not place large files on the Desktop and to use his mapped home directory for
		saving documents instead of the <filename>My Documents</filename> folder.
		</para>

		<para>
		<indexterm><primary>My Documents</primary></indexterm>
		Using a folder other than <filename>My Documents</filename> is a nuisance for

		<indexterm><primary>Local Group Policy</primary></indexterm>
		<indexterm><primary>NTUSER.DAT</primary></indexterm>
		The secret to rapid loading of roaming profiles is to prevent unnecessary data from 
		being copied back and forth, without losing any functionality. This is not difficult; 
		it can be done by making changes to the Local Group Policy on each client as well 
		as changing some paths in each user's <filename>NTUSER.DAT</filename> hive.
		</para>

		<para>
		<indexterm><primary>Network Default Profile</primary></indexterm>
		<indexterm><primary>redirected folders</primary></indexterm>
		Every user profile has their own <filename>NTUSER.DAT</filename> file. This means
		you need to edit every user's profile, unless a better method can be
		followed. Fortunately, with the right preparations, this is not difficult.
		It is possible to remove the <filename>NTUSER.DAT</filename> file from each
		user's profile. Then just create a Network Default Profile. Of course, it is
		necessary to copy all files from redirected folders to the network share to which
		they are redirected.

		<indexterm><primary>Raw Print Through</primary></indexterm>
		The subject of printing is quite topical. Printing problems run second place to name
		resolution issues today. So far in this book, you have experienced only what is generally
		known as <quote>dumb</quote> printing. Dumb printing is the arrangement where all drivers
		are manually installed on each client and the printing subsystems perform no filtering
		or intelligent processing. Dumb printing is easily understood. It usually works without
		many problems, but it has its limitations also. Dumb printing is better known as
		<command>Raw Print Through</command> printing.
		</para>

		<para>
		<indexterm><primary>printing</primary><secondary>drag-and-drop</secondary></indexterm>
		<indexterm><primary>printing</primary><secondary>point-n-click</secondary></indexterm>
		Samba permits the configuration of <command>Smart</command> printing using the Microsoft
		Windows point-and-click (also called drag-and-drop) printing. What this provides is
		essentially the ability to print to any printer. If the local client does not yet have a
		driver installed, the driver is automatically downloaded from the Samba server and
		installed on the client. Drag-and-drop printing is neat; it means the user never needs
		to fuss with driver installation, and that is a <trademark>Good Thing</trademark>,
		isn't it?
		</para>

		<para>
		There is a further layer of print job processing that is known as <command>Intelligent</command>
		printing that automatically senses the file format of data submitted for printing and
		then invokes a suitable print filter to convert the incoming data stream into a format
		suited to the printer to which the job is dispatched.

		<indexterm><primary>CUPS</primary></indexterm>
		<indexterm><primary>Easy Software Products</primary></indexterm>
		<indexterm><primary>Postscript</primary></indexterm>
		The CUPS printing subsystem is capable of intelligent printing. It has the capacity to
		detect the data format and apply a print filter. This means that it is feasible to install
		on all Windows clients a single printer driver for use with all printers that are routed
		through CUPS. The most sensible driver to use is one for a Postscript printer. Fortunately,
		<ulink url="http://www.easysw.com">Easy Software Products,</ulink> the authors of CUPS have
		released a Postscript printing driver for Windows. It can be installed into the Samba
		printing backend so that it automatically downloads to the client when needed. 
		</para>

		<para>
		This means that so long as there is a CUPS driver for the printer, all printing from Windows 
		software can use Postscript, no matter what the actual printer language for the physical 
		device is. It also means that the administrator can swap out a printer with a totally 
		different type of device without ever needing to change a client workstation driver.
		</para>

		<para>
		This book is about Samba-3, so you can confine the printing style to just the smart
		style of installation. Those interested in further information regarding intelligent
		printing should review documentation on the Easy Software Products Web site.

		<title>The Name Service Caching Daemon (nscd)</title>

		<para>
		The name service caching daemon (nscd) is a primary cause of difficulties with name
		resolution, particularly where <command>winbind</command> is used. Winbind does its
		own caching, thus nscd causes double caching which can lead to peculiar problems during
		debugging. As a rule it is a good idea to turn off the name service caching daemon.
		</para>

		<para>
		Operation of the name service caching daemon is controlled by the 
		<filename>/etc/nscd.conf</filename> file. Typical contents of this file are as follows:
<screen>
# /etc/nscd.conf
# An example Name Service Cache config file.  This file is needed by nscd.
# Legal entries are:

	It is feasible to comment out the <constant>passwd</constant> and <constant>group</constant>

		<title>Debugging LDAP</title>

		<indexterm><primary>/etc/openldap/slapd.conf</primary></indexterm>
		<indexterm><primary>loglevel</primary></indexterm>
		<indexterm><primary>slapd</primary></indexterm>
		In the example <filename>/etc/openldap/slapd.conf</filename> control file
		(see <link linkend="sbehap-dbconf"/>) there is an entry for <constant>loglevel	256</constant>.
		To enable logging via the syslog infrastructure it is necessary to uncomment this parameter
		and restart <command>slapd</command>.
		</para>

		<para>
		<indexterm><primary>/etc/syslog.conf</primary></indexterm>
		<indexterm><primary>/var/log/ldaplogs</primary></indexterm>
		LDAP log information can be directed into a file that is separate from the normal system
		log files by changing the <filename>/etc/syslog.conf</filename> file so it has the following
		contents:
<screen>
# Some foreign boot scripts require local7
#
local0,local1.*                 -/var/log/localmessages
local2,local3.*                 -/var/log/localmessages
local5.*                        -/var/log/localmessages
local6,local7.*                 -/var/log/localmessages
local4.*                        -/var/log/ldaplogs
</screen>
		In the above case, all LDAP related logs will be directed to the file
		<filename>/var/log/ldaplogs</filename>. This makes it easy to track LDAP errors.
		The above provides a simple example of usage that can be modified to suit
		local site needs. The configuration used later in this chapter reflects such
		customization with the intent that LDAP log files will be stored at a location
		that meets local site needs and wishes more fully.

		<title>Debugging NSS_LDAP</title>

		<para>
		The basic mechanism for diagnosing problems with the nss_ldap utility involves adding to the
		<filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> file the following parameters:
<screen>
debug 256
logdir /data/logs
</screen>
		Create the log directory as follows:
<screen>
&rootprompt; mkdir /data/logs
</screen>
		</para>

		<para>
		The diagnostic process should follow the following steps:
		</para>

		<procedure>
		<title>Diagnostic Guidelines</title>

			<step><para>
			Verify the <constant>nss_base_passwd, nss_base_shadow, nss_base_group</constant> entries
			in the <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> file and compare them closely with the directory
			tree location that was chosen in when the directory was first created.
			</para>

			<para>
			One way this can be done is by executing:
<screen>
&rootprompt; slapcat | grep Group | grep dn
dn: ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
dn: cn=Domain Admins,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
dn: cn=Domain Users,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
dn: cn=Domain Guests,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
dn: cn=Domain Computers,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
dn: cn=Administrators,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
dn: cn=Print Operators,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
dn: cn=Backup Operators,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
dn: cn=Replicators,ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz
</screen>
			The first line is the DIT entry point for the container for POSIX groups. The correct entry
			for the <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> for the <constant>nss_base_group</constant>
			parameter therefore is the distinguished name (dn) as applied here:
<screen>
nss_base_group ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz?one
</screen>
			The same process may be followed to determine the appropriate dn for user accounts.
			If the container for computer accounts is not the same as that for users (see the &smb.conf;
			file entry for <constant>ldap machine suffix</constant>, it may be necessary to set the 
			following DIT dn in the <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> file:
<screen>
nss_base_passwd dc=abmas,dc=biz?sub
</screen>
			This instructs LDAP to search for machine as well as user entries from the top of the DIT
			down. This is inefficient, but at least should work. Note: It is possible to specify multiple
			<constant>nss_base_passwd</constant> entries in the <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> file, they
			will be evaluated sequentially. Let us consider an example of use where the following DIT
			has been implemented:
			</para>

			<para>
			<itemizedlist>
			<listitem><para>All user accounts are stored under the DIT: ou=Users,dc=abmas,dc=biz</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>All user login accounts are under the DIT: ou=People,ou-Users,dc=abmas,dc=biz</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>All computer accounts are under the DIT: ou=Computers,ou=Users,dc=abmas,dc=biz</para></listitem>
			</itemizedlist>
			</para>

			<para>
			The appropriate multiple entry for the <constant>nss_base_passwd</constant> directive
			in the <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> file may be:
<screen>
nss_base_passwd ou=People,ou=Users,dc=abmas,dc=org?one
nss_base_passwd ou=Computers,ou=Users,dc=abmas,dc=org?one
</screen>
			</para></step>

			<step><para>
			Perform lookups such as:
<screen>
&rootprompt; getent passwd
</screen>
			Each such lookup will create an entry in the <filename>/data/log</filename> directory
			for each such process executed. The contents of each file created in this directory
			may provide a hint as to the cause of the a problem that is under investigation. 
			</para></step>

			<step><para>
			For additional diagnostic information check the contents of the <filename>/var/log/messages</filename>
			to see what error messages are being generated as a result of the LDAP lookups. Here is an example of
			a successful lookup:
<screen>

The following information applies to Samba-3.0.15 when used with the Idealx smbldap-tools scripts
version 0.8.8. If using a different version of Samba, or of the smbldap-tools tarball, please 
verify that the versions you are about to use are matching. The smbldap-tools package uses counter
entries in the LDAP directory to avoid duplication of the UIDs and GIDs that are issued for POSIX
accounts. The LDAP rdn under which this information is stored are called <constant>uidNumber</constant>
and <constant>gidNumber</constant> respectively. These may be located in any convenient part of the
directory information tree (DIT). In the examples that follow they have been located under 
<constant>dn=sambaDomainName=MEGANET2,dc=abmas,dc=org</constant>. They could just as well be located under the rdn
<constant>cn=NextFreeUnixId</constant>.

	Samba-3 and OpenLDAP will have a degree of inter-dependence that is unavoidable. The method
	for boot-strapping the LDAP and Samba-3 configuration is relatively straight forward. If you

	      <command>login, password, samba, sshd</command>.
		In each file, locate every entry that has the <command>pam_unix2.so</command> entry and add to the

		<primary>pam_ldap.so</primary>
	      </indexterm>
		On other Linux systems that do not have an LDAP-enabled <command>pam_unix2.so</command> module,
		you must edit these files by adding the <command>pam_ldap.so</command> modules as shown here:

session  required    pam_limits.so
session  required    pam_env.so
session  optional    pam_mail.so
</screen>
		This example does have the LDAP-enabled <command>pam_unix2.so</command>, but simply
		demonstrates the use of the <command>pam_ldap.so</command> module. You can use either
		implementation, but if the <command>pam_unix2.so</command> on your system supports

		Samba-3 generates a Windows Security Identifier only when <command>smbd</command>

		execute:
<screen>
&rootprompt; smbclient -L localhost -U%
&rootprompt; net getlocalsid
</screen>
		A report such as the following means that the Domain Security Identifier (SID) has not yet
		been written to the <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> or to the LDAP backend:
<screen>
[2005/03/03 23:19:34, 0] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_connect_system(852)

  smbldap_search_suffix: Problem during the LDAP search:
        (unknown) (Timed out)
</screen>
		The attempt to read the SID will attempt to bind to the LDAP server. Because the LDAP server
		is not running this operation will fail by way of a time out, as shown above. This is
		normal output, do not worry about this error message.  When the Domain has been created and

<screen>
SID for domain MASSIVE is: S-1-5-21-3504140859-1010554828-2431957765
</screen>
		If, after a short delay (a few seconds), the Domain SID has still not been written to 
		the <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> file, it is necessary to investigate what 
		may be mis-configured. In this case, carefully check the &smb.conf; file for typographical 
		errors (the most common problem).  The use of the <command>testparm</command> is highly 
		recommended to validate the contents of this file.

	<title>LDAP Initialization and Creation of User and Group Accounts</title>

	<para>
	The LDAP database must be populated with well-known Windows Domain user accounts and Domain Group 
	accounts before Samba can be used. The following procedures step you through the process.
	</para>

	<para>
	At this time, Samba-3 requires that on a PDC all UNIX (Posix) group accounts that are
	mapped (linked) to Windows Domain Group accounts must be in the LDAP database. It does not
	hurt to have UNIX user and group accounts in both the system files as well as in the LDAP
	database. From a UNIX system perspective, the NSS resolver checks system files before
	referring to LDAP. If the UNIX system can resolve (find) an account in the system file, it
	does not need to ask LDAP.
	</para>

	<para>
	Addition of an account to the LDAP backend can be done in a number of ways:
	</para>

	<blockquote><para><indexterm>
	      <primary>NIS</primary>
	    </indexterm><indexterm>
	      <primary>/etc/passwd</primary>
	    </indexterm><indexterm>

	      <primary>SambaSamAccount</primary>
	    </indexterm><indexterm>
	      <primary>PosixAccount</primary>
	    </indexterm>
	If you always have a user account in the <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> on every 
	server or in a NIS(+) backend, it is not necessary to add Posix accounts for them in 
	LDAP. In this case, you can add Windows Domain user accounts using the 
	<command>pdbedit</command> utility. Use of this tool from the command line adds the 
	SambaSamAccount entry for the user, but does not add the PosixAccount entry for the user.
	</para>

	<para>
	If you decide that it is probably a good idea to add both the PosixAccount attributes
	as well as the SambaSamAccount attributes for each user, then a suitable script is needed.
	In the example system you are installing in this exercise, you are making use of the
	Idealx smbldap-tools scripts. A copy of these tools, pre-configured for this system,
	is included on the enclosed CD-ROM under <filename>Chap06/Tools.</filename>

	<para><indexterm>
	    <primary>smbldap-populate</primary>

	The following steps initialize the LDAP database, and then you can add user and group
	accounts that Samba can use. You use the <command>smbldap-populate</command> to
	seed the LDAP database. You then manually add the accounts shown in <link linkend="sbehap-bigacct"/>. 
	The list of users does not cover all 500 network users; it provides examples only.

	      <primary>directory</primary>
	      <secondary>Computers container</secondary>
	    </indexterm>
	In the following examples, as the LDAP database is initialized, we do create a container
	for Computer (machine) accounts. In the Samba-3 &smb.conf; files, specific use is made
	of the People container, not the Computers container, for domain member accounts. This is not a
	mistake; it is a deliberate action that is necessitated by the fact that the resolution of 
	a machine (computer) account to a UID is done via NSS. The only way this can be handled is
	using the NSS (<filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>) entry for <constant>passwd</constant>
	which is resolved using the <filename>nss_ldap</filename> library. The configuration file for
	the <filename>nss_ldap</filename> library is the file <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename> that
	provides only one possible LDAP search command that is specified by the entry called
	<constant>nss_base_passwd</constant>. This means that the search path must take into account
	the directory structure so that the LDAP search will commence at a level that is above
	both the Computers container and the Users (or People) container. If this is done, it is
	necessary to use a search that will descend the directory tree so that the machine account
	can be found. Alternately, by placing all machine accounts in the People container, we
	are able to side-step this limitation. This is the simpler solution that has been adopted
	in this chapter.

	        If the execution of this command does not return IDMAP entries, you need to create an LDIF

<screen>
&rootprompt; ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=abmas,dc=biz" \
		-w not24get &lt; /etc/openldap/idmap.LDIF

		Samba automatically populates this LDAP directory container when it needs to.

&rootprompt; ./smbldap-useradd -m -a <constant>username</constant>
&rootprompt; ./smbldap-passwd <constant>username</constant>
Changing password for <constant>username</constant>
New password : XXXXXXXX

		This step will determine
<screen>
&rootprompt; id chrisr

		</para></step>

	  <step><para><indexterm>
		<primary>smbldap-usermod</primary>
	      </indexterm>
		The 'root' account must have UID=0, if not this means that operations conducted from
		a Windows client using tools such as the Domain User Manager fails under UNIX because
		the management of user and group accounts requires that the UID=0. Additionally, it is
		a good idea to make certain that no matter how 'root' account credentials are resolved
		that the home directory and shell are valid. You decide to effect this immediately
		as demonstrated here:
<screen>
&rootprompt; cd /opt/IDEALX/sbin
&rootprompt; ./smbldap-usermod -u 0 -d /root -s /bin/bash root
</screen>
		</para></step>

		<step><para>

<screen>
&rootprompt; getent passwd | grep root
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
root:x:0:512:Netbios Domain Administrator:/root:/bin/bash
</screen>
		This demonstrates that the changes were accepted.

		<primary>pdbedit</primary>
	      </indexterm>
		The final validation step involves making certain that Samba-3 can obtain the user

<screen>
&rootprompt; pdbedit -Lv chrisr

	  <step><para><indexterm>
		<primary>smbldap-groupadd</primary>
	      </indexterm>
		Now you add the group accounts that are used on the Abmas network. Execute
		the following exactly as shown:
<screen>
&rootprompt; ./smbldap-groupadd -a Accounts
&rootprompt; ./smbldap-groupadd -a Finances
&rootprompt; ./smbldap-groupadd -a PIOps
</screen>
		The addition of groups does not involve keyboard interaction, so the lack of console
		output is of no concern.
		</para></step>

	  <step><para><indexterm>
		<primary>getent</primary>
	      </indexterm>
		You really do want to confirm that UNIX group resolution from LDAP is functioning 
		as it should. Let's do this as shown here:
<screen>
&rootprompt; getent group
...
Domain Admins:x:512:root
Domain Users:x:513:bobj,stans,chrisr,maryv
Domain Guests:x:514:
...
Accounts:x:1000:
Finances:x:1001:
PIOps:x:1002:
</screen>
		The well-known special accounts (Domain Admins, Domain Users, Domain Guests), as well
		as our own site-specific group accounts, are correctly listed. This is looking good.
		</para></step>

	  <step><para><indexterm>
		<primary>net</primary>
		<secondary>groupmap</secondary>
		<tertiary>list</tertiary>
	      </indexterm>
		The final step we need to validate is that Samba can see all the Windows Domain Groups
		and that they are correctly mapped to the respective UNIX group account. To do this,
		just execute the following command:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net groupmap list
Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-3504140859-...-2431957765-512) -> Domain Admins
Domain Users (S-1-5-21-3504140859-...-2431957765-513) -> Domain Users
Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-3504140859-...-2431957765-514) -> Domain Guests
...
Accounts (S-1-5-21-3504140859-1010554828-2431957765-3001) -> Accounts
Finances (S-1-5-21-3504140859-1010554828-2431957765-3003) -> Finances
PIOps (S-1-5-21-3504140859-1010554828-2431957765-3005) -> PIOps
</screen>
		This is looking good. Congratulations &smbmdash; it works! Note that in the above output
		the lines where shortened by replacing the middle value (1010554828) of the SID with the 
		ellipsis (...).
		</para></step>

		<step><para>
		The server you have so carefully built is now ready for another important step. You 
		start the Samba-3 server and validate its operation. Execute the following to render all 
		the processes needed fully operative so that, on system reboot, they are automatically 
		started:
<screen>
&rootprompt; chkconfig named on
&rootprompt; chkconfig dhcpd on
&rootprompt; chkconfig ldap on
&rootprompt; chkconfig nmb on
&rootprompt; chkconfig smb on
&rootprompt; chkconfig winbind on
&rootprompt; rcnmb start
&rootprompt; rcsmb start
&rootprompt; rcwinbind start
</screen>
		</para></step>

		<step><para>
		The next step might seem a little odd at this point, but take note that you are about to
		start <command>winbindd</command> which must be able to authenticate to the PDC via the
		localhost interface with the <command>smbd</command> process. This account can be
		easily created by joining the PDC to the Domain by executing the following command:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc join -S MASSIVE -U root%not24get
</screen>
		Note: Before executing this command on the PDC both <command>nmbd</command> and
		<command>smbd</command> must be started so that the <command>net</command> command
		can communicate with <command>smbd</command>. The expected output is:
<screen>
Joined domain MEGANET2.
</screen>
		This indicates that the Domain security account for the PDC has been correctly created.
		</para></step>

		<step><para>
		At this time it is necessary to restart <command>winbindd</command> so that it can
		correctly authenticate to the PDC. The following command achieves that:
<screen>
&rootprompt; rcwinbind restart
</screen>
		</para></step>

	  <step><para><indexterm>

		Verify that the NSS resolver is working. You may need to cycle the run level
		to 1 and back to 5 before the NSS LDAP resolver functions. Follow these
		commands:
<screen>
&rootprompt; telinit 1
</screen>
		After the run level has been achieved, you are prompted to provide the
		<constant>root</constant> password. Log on, and then execute:
<screen>
&rootprompt; telinit 5
</screen>
		When the normal logon prompt appears, log into the system as
	    <constant>root</constant>
		and then execute these commands:
<screen>
&rootprompt; getent passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/bin/bash

		The next step in the verification process involves testing the operation of UNIX group

&rootprompt; getent group

		This is also the correct and desired output, because it demonstrates that the LDAP client
		is able to communicate correctly with the LDAP server
	    (<constant>MASSIVE</constant>).
		</para></step>

	<step><para><indexterm>
	      <primary>smbpasswd</primary>
	    </indexterm>
		You must now set the LDAP administrative password into the
	    Samba-3 <filename>secrets.tdb</filename>
		file by executing this command:
<screen>
&rootprompt; smbpasswd -w not24get
Setting stored password for "cn=Manager,dc=abmas,dc=biz" in secrets.tdb
</screen>
		</para></step>

		<step><para>
		Now you must obtain the Domain Security Identifier from the PDC and store it into the
		<filename>secrets.tdb</filename> file also. This step is not necessary with an LDAP
		passdb backend because Samba-3 obtains the Domain SID from the 
		sambaDomain object it automatically stores in the LDAP backend. It does not hurt to
		add the SID to the <filename>secrets.tdb</filename>, and if you wish to do so, this 
		command can achieve that:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc getsid MEGANET2
Storing SID S-1-5-21-3504140859-1010554828-2431957765 \
                           for Domain MEGANET2 in secrets.tdb
</screen>
		When configuring a Samba-3 BDC that has an LDAP backend, there is no need to take
		any special action to join it to the Domain. However, winbind communicates with the
		Domain Controller that is running on the localhost and must be able to authenticate,
		thus requiring that the BDC should be joined to the Domain. The process of joining
		the Domain creates the necessary authentication accounts.
		</para></step>

		<step><para>
		To join the Samba BDC to the Domain execute the following:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net rpc join -U root%not24get
Joined domain MEGANET2.
</screen>
		This indicates that the Domain security account for the BDC has been correctly created.
		</para></step>

		<step><para>
		<indexterm>
			<primary>pdbedit</primary>

stans:1001:System User

                The server you have so carefully built is now ready for another important step. Now
                start the Samba-3 server and validate its operation. Execute the following to render all
                the processes needed fully operative so that, upon system reboot, they are automatically

<screen>
&rootprompt; chkconfig named on

		Your new <constant>BLDG1, BLDG2</constant> servers do not have home directories for users.
		To rectify this using the SUSE yast2 utility or by manually editing the <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
		file, add a mount entry to mount the <constant>home</constant> directory that has been exported
		from the <constant>MASSIVE</constant> server. Mount this resource before proceeding. An alternate
		approach could be to create local home directories for users who are to use these machines.
		This is a choice that you, as system administrator, must make. The following entry in the
		<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> file suffices for now:
<screen>
massive.abmas.biz:/home  /home  nfs     rw 0 0
</screen>
		To mount this resource, execute:
<screen>
&rootprompt; mount -a
</screen>
		Verify that the home directory has been mounted as follows:
<screen>
&rootprompt; df | grep home

	My father would say, <quote>Dinner is not over until the dishes have been done.</quote>
	The makings of a great network environment take a lot of effort and attention to detail.
	So far you have completed most of the complex (and to many administrators, the interesting
	part of server configuration) steps, but remember to tie it all together. Here are
	a few more steps that must be completed so that your network runs like a well-rehearsed
	orchestra.
	</para>

	<sect2>
	<title>Configuring Directory Share Point Roots</title>

	<para>
	In your &smb.conf; file, you have specified Windows shares. Each has a
	  <parameter>path</parameter>
	parameter. Even though it is obvious to all, one of the common Samba networking problems is
	caused by forgetting to verify that every such share root directory actually exists and that it
	has the necessary permissions and ownership.
	</para>

	<para>
	Here is an example, but remember to create the directory needed for every share:
<screen>
&rootprompt; mkdir -p /data/{accounts,finsvcs,piops}
&rootprompt; mkdir -p /apps
&rootprompt; chown -R root.root /data
&rootprompt; chown -R root.root /apps
&rootprompt; chown -R bobj.Accounts /data/accounts
&rootprompt; chown -R bobj.Finances /data/finsvcs
&rootprompt; chown -R bobj.PIOps /data/pidata
&rootprompt; chmod -R ug+rwxs,o-rwx /data
&rootprompt; chmod -R ug+rwx,o+rx-w /apps
</screen>
	</para>

	<sect2>
	<title>Configuring Profile Directories</title>

	<para>
	You made a conscious decision to do everything it would take to improve network client
	performance. One of your decisions was to implement folder redirection. This means that Windows
	user desktop profiles are now made up of two components &smbmdash; a dynamically loaded part and a set of file
	network folders.
	</para>

	<para>
	For this arrangement to work, every user needs a directory structure for the network folder
	portion of their profile as shown here:
<screen>
&rootprompt; mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/profdata
&rootprompt; chown root.root /var/lib/samba/profdata
&rootprompt; chmod 755 /var/lib/samba/profdata

# Per user structure
&rootprompt; cd /var/lib/samba/profdata
&rootprompt; mkdir -p <emphasis>username</emphasis>
&rootprompt; for i in InternetFiles Cookies History AppData \
                      LocalSettings MyPictures MyDocuments Recent
&rootprompt; do
&rootprompt; mkdir <emphasis>username</emphasis>/$i
&rootprompt; done
&rootprompt; chown -R <emphasis>username</emphasis>.Domain\ Users <emphasis>username</emphasis>
&rootprompt; chmod -R 750 <emphasis>username</emphasis>
</screen>
	</para>

	<para><indexterm>
	    <primary>roaming profile</primary>
	  </indexterm><indexterm>
	    <primary>mandatory profile</primary>
	  </indexterm>
	You have three options insofar as the dynamically loaded portion of the roaming profile
	is concerned: 
	</para>

	<itemizedlist>
		<listitem><para>You may permit the user to obtain a default profile.</para></listitem>
		<listitem><para>You can create a mandatory profile.</para></listitem>
		<listitem><para>You can create a group profile (which is almost always a mandatory profile).</para></listitem>
	</itemizedlist>

	<para>
	  Mandatory profiles cannot be overwritten by a user. The change from
	  a user profile to a mandatory profile is effected by renaming the
	  <filename>NTUSER.DAT</filename> to
	  <filename>NTUSER.MAN</filename>, i.e., just by changing the filename
	  extension.
	  </para>

	    <primary>SRVTOOLS.EXE</primary>
	  </indexterm><indexterm>
	    <primary>Domain User Manager</primary>
	  </indexterm>
	The location of the profile that a user can obtain is set in the users' account in the LDAP passdb backend.
	You can manage this using the Idealx smbldap-tools or using the 
	<ulink url="ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/SRVTOOLS.EXE">Windows NT4 Domain User Manager.</ulink>
	</para>

	<para>
	It may not be obvious that you must ensure that the root directory for the user's profile exists
	and has the needed permissions. Use the following commands to create this directory:
<screen>
&rootprompt; mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/profiles/<emphasis>username</emphasis>
&rootprompt; chown <emphasis>username</emphasis>.Domain\ Users
	    /var/lib/samba/profiles/<emphasis>username</emphasis>

	<title>Preparation of Logon Scripts</title>

	<para><indexterm>
	    <primary>logon script</primary>
	  </indexterm>
	The use of a logon script with Windows XP Professional is an option that every site should consider.
	Unless you have locked down the desktop so the user cannot change anything, there is risk that
	a vital network drive setting may be broken or that printer connections may be lost. Logon scripts
	can help to restore persistent network folder (drive) and printer connections in a predictable
	manner. One situation in which such breakage may occur in particular is when a mobile PC (notebook)
	user attaches to another company's network that forces environment changes that are alien to your
	network.
	</para>

	<para>
	If you decide to use network logon scripts, by reference to the &smb.conf; files for the Domain
	Controllers, you see that the path to the share point for the
	  <constant>NETLOGON</constant>
	share defined is <filename>/var/lib/samba/netlogon</filename>. The path defined for the logon
	script inside that share is <filename>scripts\logon.bat</filename>. This means that as a Windows
	NT/200x/XP client logs onto the network, it tries to obtain the file
	  <filename>logon.bat</filename>
	from the fully qualified path <filename>/var/lib/samba/netlogon/scripts</filename>. This fully
	qualified path should, therefore, exist where you install the <filename>logon.bat</filename>.
	</para>

	<para>
	You can, of course, create the fully qualified path by executing:
<screen>
&rootprompt; mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/netlogon/scripts
</screen>
	</para>

	<para>
	You should research the options for logon script implementation by referring to <emphasis>TOSHARG</emphasis>, Chapter 21,
	Section 21.4. A quick Web search will bring up a host of options. One of the most popular logon
	facilities in use today is called <ulink url="http://www.kixtart.org">KiXtart.</ulink>

	The ability to perform tasks such as joining Windows clients to the domain can be assigned to
	normal user accounts. By default, only the domain administrator account (<constant>root</constant> on UNIX
	systems because it has UID=0) can add accounts. New to Samba 3.0.11 is the ability to grant
	this privilege in a very limited fashion to particular accounts.
	</para>

	<para>
	By default, even Samba 3.0.11 does not grant any rights even to the <constant>Domain Admins</constant>
	group. Here we will grant this group all privileges. The assignment of user rights and privileges
	requires that the parameter <parameter>enable privileges = Yes</parameter> must be set in the &smb.conf; file.
	</para>

	<para>
	Samba limits privileges on a per-server basis. This is a deliberate limitation so that users who
	are granted rights can be restricted to particular machines. It is left to the network administrator
	to determine which rights should be provided and to whom.
	</para>

	<procedure>
	<title>Setting up User Privileges</title>

		<step><para>
		Log onto the primary domain controller (PDC) as the <constant>root</constant> account.
		</para></step>

		<step><para>
		Execute the following command to grant the <constant>Domain Admins</constant> group all
		rights and privileges:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net -S MASSIVE  -U root%not24get rpc rights grant \
        "MEGANET2\Domain Admins" SeMachineAccountPrivilege \
	SePrintOperatorPrivilege SeAddUsersPrivilege \
	SeDiskOperatorPrivilege SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege
Successfully granted rights.
</screen>
		Repeat this step on each domain controller in each case substituting the name of the server
		(e.g.: BLDG1, BLDG2) in place of the PDC called MASSIVE.
		</para></step>

		<step><para>
		In this step the privilege will be granted to Bob Jordan (bobj) to add Windows workstations
		to the domain. Execute the following only on the PDC. It is not necessary to do this on
		BDCs or on DMS machines because machine accounts are only ever added by the PDC:
<screen>
&rootprompt; net -S MASSIVE  -U root%not24get rpc rights grant \
             "MEGANET2\bobj" SeMachineAccountPrivilege
Successfully granted rights.
</screen>
		</para></step>

	<title>Key Points Learned</title>

	<para>
	This chapter has introduced many new concepts. Is it a sad fact that the example presented deliberately
	avoided any consideration of security. Security does not just happen; you must design it into your total
	network. Security begins with a systems design and implementation that anticipates hostile behavior from
	users both inside and outside the organization. Hostile and malicious intruders do not respect barriers;
	they accept them as challenges. For that reason, if not simply from a desire to establish safe networking
	practices, you must not deploy the design presented in this book in an environment where there is risk
	of compromise.

	  <primary>ACLs</primary>
	</indexterm>
	As a minimum, the LDAP server must be protected by way of Access Control Lists (ACLs) and it must be
	configured to use secure protocols for all communications over the network. Of course, secure networking
	does not result just from systems design and implementation but involves constant user education
	training, and above all disciplined attention to detail and constant searching for signs of unfriendly
	or alien activities. Security is itself a topic for a whole book. Please do consult appropriate sources.

	<title>Questions and Answers</title>

	<para>
	Well, here we are at the end of this chapter and we have only ten questions to help you to
	remember so much. There are bound to be some sticky issues here.
	</para>

	<question>

		<para>
		Why did you not cover secure practices? Isn't it rather irresponsible to instruct
		network administrators to implement insecure solutions?
		</para>

	</question>
	<answer>

		<para>
		Let's get this right. This is a book about Samba, not about OpenLDAP and secure
		communication protocols for subjects other than Samba. Earlier on, you note
		that the Dynamic DNS and DHCP solutions also used no protective secure communications
		protocols. The reason for this is simple: There are so many ways of implementing
		secure protocols that this book would have been even larger and more complex.
		</para>

		<para>
		The solutions presented here all work (at least they did for me). Network administrators
		have the interest and the need to be better trained and instructed in secure networking
		practices and ought to implement safe systems. I made the decision, right or wrong,
		to keep this material as simple as possible. The intent of this book is to demonstrate
		a working solution and not to discuss too many peripheral issues.
		</para>

		<para>
		This book makes little mention of backup techniques. Does that mean that I am recommending
		that you should implement a network without provision for data recovery and for disaster
		management? Back to our focus: The deployment of Samba has been clearly demonstrated.
		</para>

	<question>

		<para>
		You have focused much on SUSE Linux and little on the market leader, Red Hat. Do
		you have a problem with Red Hat Linux? Doesn't that make your guidance irrelevant
		to the Linux I might be using?
		</para>

	</question>
	<answer>

		<para>
		Both Red Hat Linux and SUSE Linux comply with the Linux Standards Base specifications
		for a standard Linux distribution. The differences are marginal. Surely you know
		your Linux platform and you do have access to administration manuals for it. This
		book is not a Linux tutorial; it is a Samba tutorial. Let's keep the focus on
		the Samba part of the book; all the other bits are peripheral (but important) to
		creation of a total network solution. 
		</para>

		<para>
		What I find interesting is the attention reviewers give to Linux installation and to
		the look and feel of the desktop, but does that make for a great server? In this book,
		I have paid particular attention to the details of creating a whole solution framework.
		I have not tightened every nut and bolt, but I have touched on all the issues you
		need to be familiar with. Over the years many people have approached me wanting to
		know the details of exactly how to implement a DHCP and Dynamic DNS server with Samba
		and WINS. In this chapter, it is plain to see what needs to be configured to provide
		transparent interoperability. Likewise for CUPS and Samba inter-operation. These are
		key stumbling areas for many people.
		</para>

		<para>
		At every critical junction, I have provided comparative guidance for both SUSE and
		Red Hat Linux. Both manufacturers have done a great job in furthering the cause
		of open source software. I favor neither and respect both. I like particular
		features of both products (companies also). No bias in presentation is intended.
		Oh, before I forget, I particularly like Debian Linux; that is my favorite playground.

	<question>

		<para>
		You did not use SWAT to configure Samba. Is there something wrong with it?
		</para>

	</question>
	<answer>

		<para>
		That is a good question. As it is, the &smb.conf; file configurations are presented
		in as direct a format as possible. Adding SWAT into the equation would have complicated
		matters. I sought simplicity of implementation. The fact is that I did use SWAT to
		create the files in the first place.
		</para>

		<para>
		There are people in the Linux and open source community who feel that SWAT is dangerous
		and insecure. Many will not touch it with a barge-pole. By not introducing SWAT, I
		hope to have brought their interests on board. SWAT is well covered is <emphasis>TOSHARG</emphasis>.

	<question>

		<para>
		You have exposed a well-used password <emphasis>not24get</emphasis>. Is that
		not irresponsible? 
		</para>

	</question>
	<answer>

		<para>
		Well, I had to use a password of some sort. At least this one has been consistently
		used throughout. I guess you can figure out that in a real deployment it would make 
		sense to use a more secure and original password.
		</para>

	</answer>

	<question>

		<para>
		The Idealx smbldap-tools create many domain group accounts that are not used. Is that
		a good thing?
		</para>

	</question>
	<answer>

		<para>
		I took this up with Idealx and found them most willing to change that in the next version.
		Let's give Idealx some credit for the contribution they have made. I appreciate their work
		and, besides, it does no harm to create accounts that are not now used as at some time 
		Samba may well use them.
		</para>

	<question>

		<para>
		Can I use LDAP just for Samba accounts and not for UNIX system accounts?
		</para>

	</question>
	<answer>

		<para>
		Yes, you can do that for user accounts only. Samba requires there to be a Posix (UNIX)
		group account for every Windows Domain group account. But if you put your users into
		the system password account, how do you plan to keep all domain controller system
		password files in sync? I think that having everything in LDAP makes a lot of sense
		for the UNIX admin who is still learning the craft and is migrating from MS Windows.
		</para>

	</answer>

	<qandaentry>
	<question>

		<para>
		Why are the Windows Domain RID portions not the same as the UNIX UID?
		</para>

	</question>
	<answer>

		<para>
		Samba uses a well-known public algorithm for assigning RIDs from UIDs and GIDs.
		This algorithm ought to ensure that there will be no clashes with well-known RIDs.
		Well-known RIDs have special significance to MS Windows clients. The automatic
		assignment used the calculation: RID = UID x 2 + 1000. Of course, Samba does
		permit you to override that to some extent. See the &smb.conf; man page entry
		for <parameter>algorithmic rid base</parameter>.

	<question>

		<para>
		Printer configuration examples all show printing to the HP port 9100. Does this
		mean that I must have HP printers for these solutions to work?
		</para>

	</question>
	<answer>

		<para>
		No. You can use any type of printer and must use the interfacing protocol supported
		by the printer. Many networks use LPR/LPD print servers to which are attached
		PCL printers, InkJet printers, plotters, and so on. At home I use a USB attached
		Inkjet printer. Use the appropriate device URI (Universal Resource Interface)
		argument to the <constant>lpadmin -v</constant> option that is right for your
		printer.
		</para>

	<qandaentry>
	<question>

		<para>
		Is folder redirection dangerous? I've heard that you can lose your data that way.
		</para>

	</question>
	<answer>

		<para>
		The only loss of data I know of that involved folder redirection was caused by
		manual misuse of the redirection tool. The administrator redirected a folder to
		a network drive and said he wanted to migrate (move) the data over. Then he 
		changed his mind, so he moved the folder back to the roaming profile. This time,
		he declined to move the data because he thought it was still in the local profile
		folder. That was not the case, so by declining to move the data back, he wiped out
		the data. You cannot hold the tool responsible for that. Caveat emptor still applies.
		</para>

	</answer>
	</qandaentry>

	<qandaentry>
	<question>

		<para>
		Is it really necessary to set a local Group Policy to exclude the redirected
		folders from the roaming profile?
		</para>

	</question>
	<answer>

		<para>
		Yes. If you do not do this, the data will still be copied from the network folder
		(share) to the local cached copy of the profile.
		</para>
