SAMBA LDAP PDC OS : Opensuse 11.3 X86-64 with full optionnal server software installed CLIENT OS : Opensuse 11.3 X86-64 with minimal desktop workstation configuration Samba : 3.5.4-5.1.2 Ldap : 2.4.21-9.1 I have a small network with less than 10 LINUX CLIENTS and one SAMBA LDAP PDC LINUX. This is my smb.conf server side file. Any comment for the server side are welcome. What should I keep client side. Is there any body who can help me to make smb.conf linux client side. Clients are only laptop linux machine with nothing to share.
