BDC to a SAMBA PDC. Did I read this correctly? Has anything changed
since then.
If it can't be done, can anyone recommend another solution that has
worked for them? I also would like it if SAMBA, Courier, Postfix could
share the same username/password file. All of the above I mentioned
(According to my reading) support the reading of /etc/passwd, so why
would one want to use PAM or LDAP etc for authentication.
Please forgive me for any stupid questions I may ask, as I've been using
LINUX for only 4 months. I love it though.... can't get enough.... and
the communities are great!
Thanks!
IRV
