In smb.conf you specify those things which have meaning only to samba. But the non-samba-specific bits are configured in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf. For example, if you are using ldaps or ldap+tls (which you really should), how are you going to tell samba where to find the CA cert that authenticated the certs of your ldap servers? Answer: you put the correct ssl-relevant config into /etc/ldap/ldap.conf (or /etc/openldap/ldap.conf on RedHat-based distributions). Samba is using the openldap client libraries, after all. -- Bruce The ice-caps are melting, tra-la-la-la.
