Hi, I have 2 smb 3.0.14a domain controllers (pdc, bdc) with a openldap backend. The ldap databases are replicated. I need to replace a NT4.0 files server with a dedian/linux box. There are 5 usergroups with different rights so I need to authenticate the user. What is the best solution to authenticate the users in this case. With the external ldap database or with winbind ? Or is there even another option ? Thanks, Joost -- Things you don't want your SysAdmin to say -31. Hmm, maybe if I do this...
