Just to clarify, mostly for the archives: Setting up referrals is NIETHER a Samba OR OpenLDAP question. It is an LDAP issue, referrals are a standard LDAP thing, supported by every decent DSA. The OpenLDAP lists are for questions SPECIFICALLY for OpenLDAP related issues, referrals would not be such an issue. *ANY* decent LDAP text will cover referrals, and questions about referrals would be appropriate to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list (generic LDAP discussion) - but again, they are a well documented standard type of thing. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
