samba - May 2002 - Configuring the system to use LDAP

Hi.

I'm trying to setup an OpenLDAP server on MandrakeLinux 8.2 for use with
Samba.  To accomplish this, I'm using the idealx Samba LDAP howto.

It says to use "authconfig" to setup the system to use pam_ldap,
nss_ldap and nscd.  I don't have Red Hat and thus don't have authconfig.
Translated to config files, what does authconfig do?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar

it just configures pam to check with the ldap server instead of the
local dbs - you'll have to do that manually
