Hi, Everything I can find about using the ldapsam backend seems to imply that samba will be used as a domain controller. Is it possible to use ldapsam as the backend and have just a user level security workgroup? Thanks. Craig

But only domain controllers can share accounts in an ldapsam backend due to the fact that the user's full SID is stored. cheers, jerry ====================================================================Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEjzt1IR7qMdg1EfYRArTNAJ4ocsOqUkzVSBtV7csavs5bVPTQ5QCfSK6k 7bL27XW3l2Nm4VS5FrNLfAA=hqHQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Not being a windows person too much, I don't know what sharing accounts means. I assume it means replicating accounts across PDC and BDC. Can I not simply use openldap replication to simulate this?
