[Samba] Samba 3.0 - ldap backend and idmap?
Hello people, Can somebody answer my question? Is it so that using samba 3.0 with ldap backend requires idmap backend also? Thus for mapping unix ID's to Smaba ID's? My thanks in advance for an answer. Eddie. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
