Thanks! I was doing some testing this morning and found that on the pdc I was setup nss like this

nss_base_passwd ou=People
nss_base_passwd ou=machines,ou=Samba

In my 15 minutes of testing it appears to work well. With the size of our LDAP, searching from the base could take a very long time.

Thanks again,
Derek

When setting up an LDAP PDC do I have to have both user and machines
in the ou=People container?  Here's what I've got.

LDAP Tree

ou=People,o=umd.umich.edu
ou=NIS,ou=Groups,o=umd.umich.eud
ou=machines,ou=Samba,ou=Services,o=umd.umich.edu
ou=Idmap,ou=Samba,ou=Services,o=umd.umich.edu




-m I get "Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user its-1150d$. Does
this user exist in the UNIX password database" which would be correct
since machine accounts aren't under ou=People the local workstation
won't be able to look them up.  I don't want my unix users seeing all
the windows workstations.


The domain controllers have to see machine account. I have a setup like
yours but on the pdc my nss setup is:

base  o=umd.umich.edu
#nss_base_passwd ou=People


so the whole tree is searched while on other machines it is:

base  o=umd.umich.edu
nss_base_passwd ou=People

and here the machines account are not seen.
