Back working on Samba migration after a long break of getting the school year underway. Now all our clinets are on DHCP, and we're pushing out a 255.255.192.0 subnet mask. Servers are on an isolated subnet, and clients are authenticating okay.
The IPC vulnerabilities have made migrating the Domain Controller to Linux a priority. My plan right now
1) Set up a TESTDOMAIN domain, and transfer the domain SAM database.
2) Test the behavior of this domain
3) Try putting the domain behind a switch, along with a few ACTIVEDOMAIN clinets.
- change the name of TESTDOMAIN to ACTIVEDOMAIN
See if it works.
4) Go Live.
I've set up the test domain, using the program pwdump2.exe. It took a few days of troubleshooting to realize that the default RedHat ipchains were getting in the way of stuff- I couldn't add new workstations to this domain. I think this is because I wasn't allowing UDP traffic through the chains. I'm going to test this...
