PAM support in 2.0.x and TNG

I don\'t believe so. Samba needs to have a Unix account
for every Samba user (whether local or global) and I
want to know whether that user\'s account (or machine
account to be more precise) must be in /etc/passwd or
whether it can be with the rest of my user accounts - in
my LDAP directory.

at least, 

So what I want would work if I use NSS_LDAP and:

passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap

?

Ooohh! Happy Matt.

Thanks,
