On this page, there's something that bothers me: "Please note that, though Samba account information will be stored in LDAP, smbd(8) will still obtain the user's UNIX account information via the standard C library calls, such as getpwnam() (see documentation); unfortunately, OpenBSD's standard C libraries don't support LDAP, thus forcing us to define Samba users also as local Unix accounts." "This means a little more work for the system administrator, who will need to define users twice, but won't affect the overall system security since Unix users won't need to be able to logon to the system.
This was probably true by the time of this document write, but hopefully things change over time. Please take a look at ypldap(8). I think it solves the problem you refer. There are some small issues, but I bet they are being worked, and you'll find an workaround for them meanwhile. ;) Best regards, Pedro
