[Samba] (no subject)

[Terry Davis]

I just ran across this myself.  I guess I dont understand why there
needs to be machine names in /etc/passwd if you are storing everything
in LDAP.  Am I missing a configuration option here?   Can one of you
samba geniuses point me in the right direction please?

Thank you!
