Samba LDAP

[Stephan Duehr]

Hi Martin,

the question is: What do you want to do with that Samba-LDAP-PDC?
If you want real users to use that server, then I think you
should not use TNG, because it is just heavily changing, even
the LDAP related stuff. My advice would be to check out the cvs
of 1999/10/15-00:00 and follow Ignacio Coupeau's fine howto:

http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb-howto.html

I saw that he added instructions on how to check out that that
special version, that proved to be quite stable and usable.
I found problems with printing from NT with that version.
A good approach might be to use that as PDC and a 2.0.6
with security=server (or domain) for file and print services.

If you want to take part in TNG-research, I am not the right
person (at present;-)
