wrong path in samba ldap tools

[Hadmut Danisch]

Binary package hint: smbldap-tools

Hi,

the config file path compiled into the smbldap-tools is not correct:

# smbldap-useradd testuser
Unable to open /etc/opt/IDEALX/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf for reading !

regards

Actually it's not a bug, the problem is, that in order for the smbldap-tools to work properly, they must be configured. During the installation the config dir /etc/smbldap-tools is generated, but it is empty.

Once you copy the example config files smbldap.conf.gz (has to be gunzipped) and smbldap_bind.conf in /usr/share/doc/smbldap-tools/examples/ into /etc/smbldap-tools and have them adjusted to your needs, the smbldap-tools are working.

Of course, it would be a great idea, to have the configure.pl - script executed during the package install...

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

/etc/smbldap-tools still empty on my new Karmic server installation

i would suggest as a workaround to execute this when the package is configured.

sudo gzip -d /usr/share/doc/smbldap-tools/configure.pl.gz
sudo perl /usr/share/doc/smbldap-tools/configure.pl

if not hope this will help others (workaround tested and working on lucid 10.04 alpha2)
