The By Example book is most likely much better information to get samba + ldap running , only I couldn't get my hands on it in the short term. i suppose books have to be verbose about all kinds of different posibilities but than forget to be detailed enough for a specific setup , which leaves you with still not enough information to get the job done. > example I don't care about Fedora vs SUSE vs Debian, I am going with > Fedora at this time because I wanted ACLs found in Kernel 2.6.

I found the acl support in 2.6 series not completely compatible . I still have to look into it deeper, but I had problems with the desired behaviour of acl support under 2.6.x. For now I stick with 2.4.x because I allso need ipsec on the same box , and ipsec on 2.6.x is quite different from 2.4.x. And 2.6.4 and higher had a funny way of dealing with , at least, intel e1000 drivers, maybe other drivers too.
