What's actually needed is full separation of the search for users and computers, and that's not worth it (IMHO) in 2.2.7a if 3.0alpha has it already (I believe it does). I'd rather contribute to 3.0alpha and help get it out the door quicker than try to expand functionality on 2.2.7a. Certainly

libnss-ldap.conf? I don't seem to have that file anywhere. I suppose I should warn you that this is a Mandrake system. I do have nss-ldap installed as well as pam-ldap. Samba itself doesn't lookup posix things in LDAP. That is the job of nsswitch/pam. You have to configure in your

Parameters are: Samba 2.2.7a PDC setup with LDAP includeing posix authentication for Linux. OK, the tutorial I've based my setup on is the Mandrake tutorial found at http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/ldap-auth.php Works great for autenticateing Linux from LDAP but it is really sparse on the

I meditated long and hard on how to do this separation on 2.2.7a, even going so far as to code most of the patch, but ran into the stone wall that the search for the computer account is ALWAYS done as a search for a user account (just with a different name - meaning the trailing $), so I'd have to
