The whole point of LDAP is to combine the (considerable) benefits of single-source authentication and single-point administration with the robust reliability of a distributed user database. You don't have that with the shadow suite.
If you use an earlier version of samba you can implement the smbpasswd backend instead of LDAP and make your life much simpler. --Charlie On Thu, Jun 5, 2008 at 10:52 AM, Collen Blijenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, i'm a bit confused, > > can i setup samba (3.0.30) with LDAP backend, and have the "posix/local > linux" users and groups > reside in the /etc/groups /etc/shadow ect. ect (the standard linux files) > ??? > > or do i have to put them in ldap also ?? > (is there a choice?) > > Greets, Collen > > > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
