What about this question? What reccords are added in the DNS by Samba, beside all the SRV reccords? > > > > Now regarding LDAP, is there a way to tell Samba to replicate the > > directory from my existing openLDAP? > No. > Our LDAP Server support schema upgrade so if the stuff that you have in > your OL has a schema that is compatible to Samba you can update Samba's > schema and then load the data by export/import in Samba. > Another way of doing is by using overlays in OL to present in the > desired way the information coming from both OL and Samba 4. I have seen that, but that was after I posted my question. I think I will resolve to keep both Samba and OL in parallel and update the accounts on bot at same time (it's just a minor change in the existing scripts used to update OL).
