After some more work on LDAP I think I’ve got the trash can working (only on a test account at the moment) and some of my other issues resolved (although most of them will need time to confirm they’ve gone). This is without using PHDs, using the standard RFC2307 mapping, not open directory (I haven’t used samba.schema or apple.schema).

People can email me if they’re trying something similar,

But prior to my last (linux) server update, I was using NFS directly as home dirs, no syncing involved. To be honest, I cannot recall if I had the delete immediately problem or not. I think I likely did, but honestly can’t remember, sorry. Since the last update at the server end, the NFS bit stopped working, although authentication is still fine. I didn’t bother investigating it as the time spent doing that would likely take longer than just updating my phone with a local user account!

Sorry I can’t be more helpful

If your NOT using PHDs do your mac os clients have the delete immediately problem when using the trash can? And do you get the resource forks artefacts dotted around directories “._*”?

Im trying to run mac os clients with NFS home directories (not using portable directories), but have the above issues, as well as a few application issues (flash,firefox/chrome,etc). I thought I remembered reading somewhere that at least the trash can problem was fixed when using a mac os x server for authentication (or a suitably configured ldap server). Obviously I can’t find that source anymore!

However, I have some comments …

“One of the first things is that the default LDAP schemas etc. on Mandriva are probably a little old fashioned these days.”

Well, RFC2307bis is an expired draft, and samba doesn’t actually support RFC2307bis (DN-valued group member attributes), so by default we ship RFC2307 (e.g., in openldap-mandriva-dit), but provide the RFC2307bis schema as well. As such, I haven’t tested RFC2307bis myself (samba testing is too important), or added support for it in our tools.

Please note, you seem to have used “RFC2307″ to refer to “RFC2307bis” in some places, please be careful to note the difference.

Can you confirm whether RFC2307bis is *really* required.

BTW, Mac clients seem to be a bit brain-dead, they often keep re-trying the same searches that seem to be useful for configuration, even when they are configured.
