...ose software can serve for. We don't use Samba as a general tool for everything. For the user and group management we have an external Oracle database. From this database we feed a mixed mode AD for the windows world and a LDAP for the unix world using there nss_ldap. A windowsusername = DOMAIN\unixusername and some windowsgroupname = DOMAIN\unixgroupname, some windowsgroupnames differ from unixgroupnames. Both group membership trees are identical ( LDAP supports nested unix groups). The password entries for unix and windows are managed by the external database. On our NFS and CIFS fileserver both w...

Basically, as far as samba will b...
