Thanks for the help.. I got some reading matter for the upcoming fall holiday ;-)
Questions so far that come to mind are: My current Windows 2003 server must stay! It is the Application server: can Samba act as a PDC with this machine in its domain? Or will win2003 try to take over. It is just a member server.. Not a BDC. Can i map the current users on my NT domain to LDAP users on my LDAP directory. These users have an a-mail account and password in place! Will this cause headaches? Thanks for the quick response untill now!

You may also want to look at Chapter 5. This has info. on using LDAP with Samba 3. You can migrate all the user and computer info. from your NT 4.0 PDC straight to Samba. When you shutdown your NT box and activate your Samba box, the users/client machines will not know the difference. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
