Hi Edmundo, We are doing a domain, where users from linux and windows would exchange information throught share directories, so I think domain member are necesary on linux box ( windows clients will view linux clients like windows clients) isn't is?.
Thanks for your help PD: I don't understand why domain client needs ldap passwd. And how can a client request make the ou=Idmap branch population if it wasn't populated ? On 6/28/06, Edmundo Valle Neto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If you have an LDAP backend you probably will have accounts with POSIX attributes, this is all that is needed by the Linux "domain member" to know about the domain users and authenticate using these account. You can configure NSS and PAM to use LDAP and then install smbfs (to mount the shares), it will install the samba-common package, not the samba (server) package, that almost the only thing you must specify (trough debconf) is accept password encryption and set the domain name. You can even automount shares using libpam-mount on logon. Regards.
