So you're saying that in your ldap.conf you have things configured like so?
nss_base_passwd dc=homelan,dc=com,dc=br?sub
With the correct indexes and enough RAM it shouldn't really matter.
Yes I have this in my ldap.conf:
nss_base_passwd dc=ump,dc=edu,dc=br?sub nss_base_shadow dc=ump,dc=edu,dc=br?sub nss_base_group ou=groups,dc=ump,dc=edu,dc=br?one nss_base_hosts ou=computers,dc=ump,dc=edu,dc=br
I didn't change that yet because I like the idea of keeping computers and users separated.
That isn't actually what you're doing by setting nss_base_hosts. Basically you're configuring ldap to look for dns information in ou=Computers.
The idea of putting hosts and users in different places as far as samba is concerned is a different beast. Samba requires hosts to have a standard unix user account, ldap doesn't really know the difference since samba searches for a general posix account in the passwd scope.
Let me know if that's confusing, it seems like it probably is but I don't have my good explaining head on yet.
