Yes, 8.6.3 on a RH 7.3 to be precise.

Works pretty good. I have not yet tried to integrate cups but user
authentification (unix login) is done via pam_ldap, i just have some
problems getting password syncronisation running, users can alt-ctrl-del
an change their windows password, but I want to set the user unix
password too.

sambaAccount is an auxiliary class, i think you do need a real object
class (like user). Take a look with the Schema Manager (ConsoleOne) at
the user class, and the needed attributes (IIRC there are 4).
