This looks like exactly what we need: excellent!
I originally tried to implement our system using nss_ldap on each of the
servers, but we couldn't get the member servers to recognize the domain
users without winbind running (which is why I ended up writing the
external backend). I didn't realize this existed, much thanks to all
the developers of this feature for the implementation.
From what I can tell, I'll just need to push my ldap.conf & smb.conf to
each of the member servers, set up nsswitch to add LDAP and I should
have exactly what we were doing the roundabout way before.
Thanks!
Matt.
