We operate with - ldap suffix = ou=SAM,o=Morrison Industries,c=US ldap group suffix = ou=Groups ldap user suffix = ou=Entities ldap machine suffix = ou=System Accounts,ou=Entities Works fine. We also seperate root, wheel, guest, etc... out from the 'true' users, But I don't know anything about the idealx scripts since we don't use them. We have our own scripts. Basically your add user / add machine scripts create a posixAccount objectclass, and then Samba finds that via a search and does its thing. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
