Sigh, I just want basic, basic, _basic_ computer/user/group authentication and naming understood -- *NOT* full LDAP expertise. *** HERE'S YOUR KEY TEST *** How are you -- Mr. Samba-only administator -- going to synchronize UNIX/Linux computer/user/group authentication and naming across multiple subnets of many, many servers? What about file synchronization between Samba servers? Authentication of those file synchronizations? Are you going to use smbfs? What about the automounter? What about all sorts of things?!?!?! I really don't think you've thought this through except from a single, standalone Samba server standpoint -- one that might optionally run Winbindd. Sooner or later you're going to realize that at level-3, you've got more than just "how do I implement Samba?" questions. You've got "real world" questions like, "how do I keep credentials on Samba server synchronized, and handle key file and other details?" -- even if you assume you have 100% Samba and 100% Windows clients. And don't just say "LDAP"! > In the end all arguments from me and from you have been stated in this > thread more than one.
