John,
I use:
ldap group suffix = ou=group
ldap machine suffix = ou=people
ldap user suffix = ou=peoplebecause the docs I was following stated that there was a bug in Samba that prevented a group suffix of ou=computers from working. I can't put my hands on this doc right now, though. Perhaps someone could comment on whether this issue is resolved in 3.0.9 or whether it was an issue at all.

The SBMLDAP howto ( http://www.idealx.org/prj/samba/smbldap-howto.en.html ) states that:

Is the correct approach to defining machines in the LDAP directory. Yet the advise offered by this group seems to be that, no we should be using :
ldap machine suffix = ou=Users
We are having problems with a new server that have been attributed to our use of the FAQ's approach & will change back to this group's approach, however I'd like to know if anyone know's why there's a discrepancy & why the FAQ says one thing the group another. Not trying to start any kind of holy war, just seeking to understand so my systems work correctly.
TIA
John
PS: I suspect different versions of Samba have different answers to above. I'm working with Samba version 3.0.9-1.fc3 I believe this is latest & greatest. Speaking for myself, I'm most interested in answer to above in the context of latest version of Samba.
