Hello, I am learning about Samba and LDAP and after much research I managed to put a Samba PDC together that uses LDAP for its backend.? Using smbldap-tools to create the user accounts, I am also able to store posix and organizational information.? I also discovered the Luma LDAP GUI tool along the way.? I have put together a Ubuntu community document that I hope will be helpful to other people in my situation. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAP-SambaPDC-OrgInfo-Posix Regards, David Collins Win a MacBook Air or iPod touch with Yahoo!7. http://au.docs..yahoo.com/homepageset
