samba - Sep 2004 - Authenticateing DC's on an ldap backend... nobody knows how?

Doesn't anyone here know how to authenticate hosts in the group 'Domain 
Controllers' such that you don't have to set 'ldap admin dn' to
the ldap
server's root dn?  What's the big deal?  Why is this such a secret? 
Everytime I ask about it I get dead silence. It doesn't seem to matter 
what list I am on either.

Well if that's the way you're asking the question it's probably
because
no one can understand what you're talking about and they are too busy 
answering well formed quesions to ask for clarification.

Hi,

Could explain more your problem ?

On samba there are machine account for windows NT4, 2000, XP but no
separation between workstation and server and DC.
And also, there are no specific group for machine which are managed by
samba.

I can answer most questions. There are no secrets, just some things that
you could help to better document - if you feel so inclined.
On the other hand, most of us a rather busy people and give our
attention to important issues as much as we can. It is not abnormal
that there are prolonged periods of silence when we are all bogged
down.

If your problem is urgent you might consider hiring a Samba consultant.
