Hi I want to use an LDAP directory for samba auth. I have got installed samba 3 and openldap 2.2.20. Even if create a posix+sambaAccount, I have to explicitly create a samba user via smbpasswd -a username. I do not want this ..instead the samba user account should be created automatically.How can this be done?? Also do I have to create sambaSamAccount or sambaAccount? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Meet the all-new My Yahoo! - Try it today! http://my.yahoo.com

Makes life so much easier. Alex
