Subject: Re: [Samba] AD howtos: LDAP needed?
My understanding is AD was/is MS's implementation of LDAP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_directory
. AD added stuff on top of the base standard to support "group
policies". Essentially MS made an LDAP object structure for Windows
networks, that obviously, windows clients know what the objects in
the LDAP mean and so display them properly in Network Places or
whatever.

Hello,
Sorry for two messages, but I thought it would make more sense to
use one
message per question.
Why do so many (but not all) AD howtos mention LDAP? Without
configuring
LDAP I can use getent passwd or getent group to see the users in
the AD.
Is there a benefit to also editing nsswitch to query LDAP?
