uses of LDAP server

[Jody Haynes]

Wong,

You will have to use the Samba-TNG branch to get this to work.  When using ldap and samba 
together, all account information is stored in the ldap database and is portable to other
slave ldap server within your network with the use of slurpd.

Samba-TNG can be a PDC for Win2K, WinNT and Win98/95 clients.

To the windows world, the samba PDC looks and feels like a NT server.....

A good reference to Samba/LDAP is:

Enjoy,
