You may additionally have a look at smbldap-tools (available in the EPEL repository). I had good experience with OS users authenticated by OpenLDAP on a Linux only network. It is not so hard to configure with authconfig. At the time I had a quick look at Samba integration and smbldap-tools seemed the way to go. By the way, authconfig seems to also have options for smb / winbind: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-authconfig-command-line.html I never tried those though. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
