Well, after a few try (thanks to vm snapshots ;-) I understood that the problem is that ldap+samba configuration sometimes "crash" with lam auto-configuration.
Now I am trying to find the right "sequence" to let everything mix in the right way. I mean, for example the fact that lam, at first visit, build for you ou like people, group and machines. After that, following samba config "how to"s conflict. When I will find the right sequence I will post my personal how to for "newbies", like I am. 2012/4/6 panjaboy <panjab...@gmail.com>: > Hi Cristiano, > > I have recently set up a similar configuration and, as you, I had some > trouble joining workstations to a Samba domain.
