Craig, Thanks for the response. I have read both the HowTo and the By Example. Neither covers much in regard to my situation. I have NO windows servers, only samba servers.
I am using LDAP, nss_ldap, and pam_ldap to handle the local unix accounts. The samba PDC is also using ldap as its passdb backend. Every thing is working fine at this time. I have tried both of the setups I have mentioned, and both work. I am just wondering what is the recomended/best practice setup. I am not using windbind at this time. I read in another post from Jerry, that the only reason I would need windbind, in my scenario, is if I had a trust relationship with another domain. I do not.
