[Samba] samba-ldap pdc howto problem

[G. Armour Van Horn]

Andrew,

I was referring to the "SAMBA-LDAP PDC HowTo" at samba.idealx.org. Is there
something better I should be using for this project?

I want five client offices to upgrade from Windows NT 4 servers, each setup as
an independent PDC now, to upgrade to Samba on Linux in each office and have a
single location to control all accounts in the entire system. The recommendation
I received from questions on this list in the past was to use the latest stable
Samba with LDAP authentication, and to set one system as the LDAP master.

I'm not so hard up for work that I really enjoy driving 50 miles to add a single
user account to a remote office. We've also grown past our licensed number of
users, and I don't want to ship a bunch more cash off to Bill for six Win2K
licenses.
