First, I think Samba tries to be indifferent to which version of LDAP but I think if it reasonably implements LDAP v3, it's gonna work with Samba. from openldap list - it would go something like that version is way out of date and you need to upgrade (current is something like 2.2.28) Note, 2.2.x series is feature locked and only security issues are being handled. They also have nearly stable 2.3.11 but that is a horse of another color. Most of my clients - I am happy with RHEL 2.2.13-x It works, features haven't really changed and I don't have to screw with it. A lot of my clients though are small ( < 50 employees) and it's hard to justify all the effort of compiling. I have manually compiled openldap 2.2.23 and am using it - it wasn't that hard (you really need to also download and compile heimdal kerberos, openssl, cyrus-sasl and berkeley-db4) and yet deal with the existing stuff that has dependencies. My recommendation is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you feel you want to go the manual route, I would heavily recommend that you use Quanah's web site at Stanford as a guide... http://www.stanford.edu/services/directory/openldap/ Note that there is now another alternative, Fedora Directory Server which was formerly Netscape's Directory Server. I have no experience with this and am enjoying whatever little free time I am having at the moment.
