[Fedora-directory-users] Access control and best practices etc ...

[Richard Sharpe]

Hi,

I have set up Fedora Directory Services (albeit, on CentOS 5.2).

Then I set up some PosixAccounts and they all work.

Then I wanted to add the sambaSamAccount attribute using the
smbldap-usermod tool from the Idealx site, but I keep getting told
that I don't have 'write' privilege to add the attribute for the user
I selected.

Now, I set up the binddn as cn=Directory Manager and specified the
correct password.

What is going wrong?

Secondly, I suspect that using the Directory Manager is not a good
idea. Are there any links to documentation on best practice for this?
