This the attribute and object definition from samba.schema from
samba2.2.6pre CVS couple of weeks ago:
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7165.2.1.1 NAME 'lmPassword'
                          DESC 'LanManager Passwd'
                          EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
                          SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{32}
SINGLE-VALUE )
[...]
objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7165.2.2.3 NAME 'sambaAccount' SUP top AUXILIARY
                       DESC 'Samba Auxilary Account'
                       MUST ( uid $ rid )
                       MAY ( cn $ lmPassword $ ntPassword $ pwdLastSet $
logonTime $
                                     logoffTime $ kickoffTime $ pwdCanChange
$ pwdMustChange $ acctFlags $
                                     displayName $ smbHome $ homeDrive $
scriptPath $ profilePath $
                                     description $ userWorkstations $
primaryGroupID $ domain ))
[...]

And this is an exemple of the attribute and object definition from
rfc2307-usergroup.sch from NDS eDirectory for Linux instalation:
RFC2307UserGroupSchemaExtensions DEFINITIONS ::=
BEGIN
-- An integer uniquely identifying a user in an administrative domain
"uidNumber" ATTRIBUTE ::=
{
         Operation  ADD,
         SyntaxID                SYN_INTEGER,
         Flags                   { DS_SINGLE_VALUED_ATTR },
         ASN1ObjID { 1 3 6 1 1 1 1 0 }
}
[...]
"posixAccount" OBJECT-CLASS ::=
{
         Operation                        ADD,
         Flags                               {DS_AUXILIARY_CLASS},
         SubClassOf		{"TOP"},
         MustContain		{	"CN" },
         MustContain		{	"uniqueID" },
         MustContain		{	"uidNumber" },
         MustContain		{	"gidNumber" },
         MustContain		{	"homeDirectory"	},
         MayContain		{	"loginShell" },
         MayContain		{	"gecos" },
         MayContain		{	"description"	},
         ASN1ObjID { 1 3 6 1 1 1 2 0 }
}
[...]

What does that mean?
I can connect, search LDAP from NDS with the tools provided by redhat 7.1
distribution...

Sorry if I´m being boring but I really need Samba to work with NDS
eDirectory.

Thank´s.
