samba - Jan 2005 - LDAP+samba dc docs

Hi,

Could someone please point me towards good documentation for setting up samba3 
as a DC and using ldap for authentication.  The part I'm having trouble with
is setting up ldap in the right way, and the ldap docs are a bit confusing.

I'm also looking for good docs on upgrading a DC from samba2.x to samba3, 
while upgrading the whole OS (SuSE 8.0 to SUSE 9.2).  I have extracted the 
SID from the old box and figured out how to put it in the new one, but I'm 
not sure what else I have to look out for.

Any help or links would be appreciated

Thank you

Hans,

Please check chapter 6 of the book "Samba-3 by Example". If anything
is not
clear or does not work please contact me, I'll help you to get this working.

You can purchase this book from Amazon.Com or download it from:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf

You will need to use the latest version of the Idealx smbldap-tools from 
www.idealx.org. If you wish, give me a call on (801) 936-1368 and I can 
provide more info on how you can easily and rapidly set up Samba on SUSE 9.2.

Cheers,
John T.
