Hi All,
I have a Samba PDC on my Suse 9.3 machine serving up to 25 clients
with a OpenLdap backend.The samba user password also *sync's with the
LDAP Password and the Local User password*. All Samba users also have a
local user account which is used by IMAP Server Accounts & Cyrus
Authentication on the same machine. (So, One Password to email and samba
for all users, if the user changes his password from the client machine
all the passwords are synchronized). Recently I have setup a BDC as well
which is working fine with the OpenLdap Replica. I would like to know
whether the Samba BDC will also synchronizes with the local user
password on the BDC machine. My Replica LDAP is updated on the BDC but
am not sure whether the local user password is updated by the BDC in the
same way as the PDC does. (all user accounts are also created on the
BDC machine.).
Thank's in advance.
cheers,
Pavan.

The goal of using ldap is to avoid creation of every users on every linux servers ... You just have to configure your box as a ldap client and log in with a ldap account ... (see Yast for your Suse ...) I suppose that all your ldap users are also posix users ? (and not only samba users ...)
