a better solution would be to tie samba directly into LDAP. I have a guide for samba-tng and LDAP but not generic samba, I think the samba docs have info on how to integrate samba with LDAP, been almost a year since I tried regular samba with LDAP though I don't remember. my docs are here: http://howto.aphroland.de/HOWTO/LDAP (as mentioned above they are for samba-tng specifically and openldap) ----------------->>>> Yeah buddy... been to your sight a few times already. Seems to be a must for any LDAP'n admin. I just want to share a directory to me windows users for a failing drive. All the work I did to get my Linux users centralized using LDAP is in the way of this process, drat!. At this point I'm not sure what to do, but it's looking like just dumping it on a NT server till I can work out the samba issues with ldap. Still I'd rather do it with a Linux solution. Have been to the samba site, in /usr/share/samba-2.2.7, and multiple other HOW-TO sites. I just don't see what I need without what seems like a complex recompile. And even with that, the scenarios described in the HOW-TOs don't fully describe me... I've thought about just doing the PDC samba LDAP thing... but... well maybe that's my only option. Anything else you can contribute is, as always, appreciated. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
