[Samba] Problems with administrator entry with uid=0 in Samba-Ldap Backend
Hi,
I am running a samba pdc (3.05) with an openldap backend und Linux.
I put an Administrator account in it with uid=0 as decriebed in the docs.
The ldap server ist a passwd backend for a number of linux clients to 
with nss_ldap an pam_ldap.
On the Linux-Clients (not on the samba-server) we run nscd in order to 
decrease the number of
ldap request eg. when doing an 'ls -l' in a directory with ~1000 files.
After some times, 'ls -l'  reports, that files, who
belong to root, belong to Administrator.
It seems, that nscd does not take care about the order
passwd: files ldap
in /etc/nsswitch.conf
resulting in the cached Username-uid pair Administrator-0 instead of root-0.
Is there a way to configure Samba/pam.ldap not the use the Administrator 
account in ldap (for example putting it in a different
ou not asked by pam_ldap?
Thank you very much
Hansj?rg
