Does this mean the Samba guide is correct? If so why the difference between p 242 & 252?
TIA

Is this correct or should they both read the same way - perhaps
ou=Computers ?
The problem is not LDAP or Samba. What you must accomodate is how through NSS you will resolve computer accounts to a UID. Since the only mechanism for looking up accounts is through the "passwd" facility this means that LDAP lookups must be made from a point in the LDAP directory tree that lies above both the ou=People and the ou=Computers. The alternative is to put the computer accounts in the ou=People container - this avoids the complexity as well as the huge performance hit of having to search two directory trees.
