So i have gone through the archives and see a lot of people asking if samba can use edirectory as a source for user passwords. No i'm down the same road myself =D my company is using edirectory 8.7.3 on Solaris and redhat enterprise linux 3. the samba server only needs to talk to the redhat edirectory server though. From the turtorials that i have read a lot pf people hook up edirectory and samba for a lot of user info but when it comes time for the passwords they rely on smbpasswd command to maintain a seperate samba user password database. Is there no secure way of making samba fetch user passwords from edirectory directly? -- Tara C. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
