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<http://majen.net/smbldap%20like%20version%202.1>
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!
