if you are using samba with "--with-ldapsam", samba is looking for the lmPassword and ntPassword attributes in ldap. it is no problem to keep this password in sync with a small script and samba set "unix password sync = yes" in your smb.conf. if you really want to use the unix-passwords with samba you must not use encrypted passwords :-( read ENCRYPTION.html in the samba-doc package for this problem. > > 2.- In the linux clients... how i managed to authentificated against > the smb server and to mount automatically the home directory of the > user? Or is better to authentificated against the ldap server? there is a way to authenticate windows-clients against the ldap server, but this is much client-work. simply use the samba-ldap installation as PDC and let the workstations join the domain. see Samba-LDAP-HOWTO.html in samba-doc or http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb-howto.html buz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
