I have a network of about 100+ users with a Samba 3.0.25 server with an LDAP backend that I configured myself (with some help). Recently I have had to add about 300 more users to my system and now I need to get a slightly less technical person to help me manage the accounts.

Hi, I have a LDAP backend for my Samba 3.0.2, and everything seems to work except adding XP machines to the domain, and unix logins with a ldap client.

Using Samba 3.0.2pre1 under SuSE 8.2. I have seen several references now in this list noting that the browse for machine accounts in Samba 3 is broken, and 'People' should be used instead. I changed smb.conf to 'ldp machine suffix = ou=People' and I changed smbldap_conf.pm to '$computersou=(People). I then cleared ldap, ran smbldap-populate.pl, and changed the uid of
