There has been some very good work by a few people over in k12osn for setting up a SAMBA PDC/BDC environment.

Thing is their scripts are for Fedora core 3.

There are instructions on how to get things to go step by step instead of use the Fedora-based script, so I gave it a try.

Step 1 is to get apt running and everything current. I assumed yum would do instead.

step 2 has:

*Installing CPAN bundles

Now we need to make sure our perl modules are all there and up to date. We can do this easily by

Running

perl -MCPAN -e –shell

Let it run. Answer “no” when it asks about Manual configuration.

Once it stops you'll be at the cpan prompt....type

install Bundle::CPAN

this will install many perl modules for you. Answer “yes” to any dependency questions. When you get

to the question about “libnet”....answer “no”. Once you are finished...hit “enter” to exit....it'll run for a

few seconds more and then bring you back to the cpan prompt. For good measure let's type

install Net::LDAP (it should be up to date)

======================================= Well I had many messages from the perl -MCPAN and install Bundle::CPAN and the install Net::LDAP just failed.

Being how this is rather foreign to me, how do I figure out what really went wrong and how to get it right?

---- yum install perl-Net-LDAP

It's easier that way and you automatically get updates.
