Finally, 3.0 stable is out and I have a question! Currently, the PDC (if we might say) is a RedHat 8.0 Server with Samba 2.2.8. Another Win file server is a Debian server with Samba 2.2.3 (I think). Anyhow, I want to give 3.0 a go in our organization, but I don't want to update the RedHat server - yet. So, my question is this, can I take advantage of 3.0 by updating the Debian server, but it must somehow get user logon information through PAM/LDAP from the RedHat server. When I say take advantage, I want to move over to an "active directories", etc. environment. Curtsi

Many changes were made to the schema. If you have just unix accounts in ldap on the redhat box you can add the samba stuff to that datastore and use it from the debian box.> When I say take advantage, I want to move over to an "active > directories", etc. environment.you can't do that with samba3 alone - it can be a member server but not whatever the analog of a pdc is in AD. brad
