Just been bored, and trawling RedHat's bugzilla:

You might want to look into this as a testcase:

[SAMBA4] New SWAT

Derrell,

I'm impressed by the new SWAT, and it looks like a great basis to build
from, but I'm worried:  Where did the old SWAT functionality go?

We don't seem to have any of the EJS pages any more:  Can we get these
back, in a window or something?  I hope we can continue to have these
simple form-based apps, as well as the more complex applications.

(Provisioning a server and joining/vampiring a domain look so much
better in demos with a web GUI...)

Also, where do things fit with the User manager developed for Summer of
Code?  I presume it's not practical to merge it with the new SWAT?  

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett

Finally, I'm interested in your plans about how authentication should
fit into all this.  We do need to secure SWAT up again...

Thanks,

There must be functionality that was there that I didn't see.  I didn't
remember seeing anything for provisioning.  I'll go back and look.  We
certainly can make the old pages available, particularly as an interim step
until that functionality is migrated to the new framework.

I don't remember what that project accomplished.  I am well aware of mimir's
libnet and its ability to manage users.  One of the early additional modules I
foresee being added is, in fact, a user manager module with libnet as its
backend.

I've already started working on that.  The basis of it is already part of the
design of the "common" finite state machine code.  I'll have authentication
working within the next few days.

It was under 'install' in the old system.  We also had status pages, and
other things.  But more importantly, it was also a general ejs/html
system, which I expect will still be much easier for some of us to
expand (ensuring there is at least some web interface, if not a AJAX
interface, for most of Samba).

[SAMBA4] Trouble with recursive depenencies

I've been having trouble of late with Samba's enforcing of non-recursive
dependencies, particularly for plugins to ldb.

We have quite a large array of plugins, and from time to time they
depend on things that depend on the credentials subsystem.  This then
depends on ldb, which depends on all the plugins.

As the recursive dependencies are only an issue if building shared
libraries, which would I presume use .so format plugins, can we remove
the recursive check?  

For the moment, I've worked around this at various times in various
ways:  mostly by breaking things up even more, but sometimes it gets
quite silly...

Thanks for doing this.  I'm sorry it took so long for me to look at
them, but I've applied some of these:

I've applied this, but using the existing conversion routines.

samba configuration via rpc - beyond registry shares

Hi All,

I was looking towards extending the work by Volker on registry shares
(rpc) a bit further by allowing Samba configuration via rpc.
It is perfectly possible to link the registry rpc api to samba
internal calls to change the parameters.

However there is a problem here - how / should the changes be written
back to smb.conf. If not then how should the conflict be resolved ?

Volker put it a bit more nicely :
"Here we have to decide which setting we use in case of a conflict:
The smb.conf one or the registry one."

I need inputs / suggestions on this one.

thanks and regards,
Chetan S
