samba - Jul 2006 - Samba and LDAP (eDirectory)

Hello all,
 
Can anyone help me with setting up SAMBA to do LDAP auth?  Do you have
to extend the schema with samba attributes or can you just use the LDAP
as an authentication source only?  Any information on this would be
greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
 
Vince

In the case of eDirectory, if you install the samba extensions that 
come with OES and use "universal password" it will just work.  It even
extends the management tools to handle the Samba users and their 
existance under UNIX (Linux, but it works fine from a Solaris samba 
server as well, and probably any other you can find.)

So the "universal password" setting is on the samba side or eDir side?
