Your question is kind of vague.

You can use LDAP as your security backend (SAM) via ldapsam.

Paul,

I wrote the "Samba-3 by Example" book using SuSE Linux 9.x and Red Hat 9 and 
Fedora Core 1. You can purchase this book from Amazon.Com or download the PDF 
from:

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf

Suggest you work through chapter 6 to see the connections. If you get lost get 
me a shout.

Cheers,
John T.

[Samba] LDAP and Samba -- a basic question

2004-12-30 Thread Paul W. Abrahams 
I've gathered that there's a close connection between Samba and LDAP, but the 
Samba documentation I've looked at, mainly in the SWAT help and man page, 
doesn't discuss LDAP.   Just what is the nature of the connection?

If it's relevant, I'm running SuSE 9.1 Linux.
