OpenLDAP 2.x
------------

A sample schema file (samba.schema) has been included for use
with OpenLDAP 2.0.x.  The OIDs used in this file are owned by
the Samba team and generated from its own Enterprise number
of 7165 (as issued by IANA).

Copy the samba.schema file into your /etc/openldap/schema directory,
and add an include for it in the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file.
Note that samba.schema relies upon the uid and uidNumber attributes
from the RFC2307 schema (i.e. nis.schema)

If you choose to import /etc/passwd, nis, or nisplus tables
into ldap, you can use migration tools provided by PADL Software
which are located at

	http://www.padl.com/tools.html

It is not a requirement that a user's /etc/passwd account
is stored in LDAP for the samba.schema file to work (although
the whole point of storing smbpasswd in LDAP is to have a
single location for user accounts, right?)

The padl tools will leave you with LDIF files which you can import
into OpenLDAP.  Before you can import them, you need to include
nis.schema and cosine.schema in your slapd.conf file.

You must restart the LDAP server for these new included schema files
to become active.

SunOne/Netscape DS
------------------

The schema file has not been updated for the sambaSamAccount
objectclass.


Novell eDirectory
-----------------

The schema file has not been updated for the sambaSamAccount
objectclass.

Fedora Directory Server /
RedHat Directory Server /
Netscape Directory Server
-------------------------

An *updated* schema file has been provided, plus a very useful script from
Mike Jackson and Alyseo is available.
ol-schema-migrate.pl can be used to migrate OpenLDAP schema files to FDS
schema ldif files, it can also be used to validate the schema files to
make sure no duplicate OIDs or malformed entries are found.

smbldap-tools/
--------------

The smbldap-tools have been removed from the samba svn
tree.  The latest version will continue to be included
in Samba releases.

The smbldap-tools package can be downloaded individually from
https://gna.org/projects/smbldap-tools/

On Debian systems, the smbldap-tools exists as a separate package
and is not included in LDAP examples.
