[Samba] Howto join Samba-3.0.2a server to a ldapv3

[Peter Nyberg]

Thanks for you answere. It helps.
Then I assume I have to install the whole package of krb and ldap. There's no
development libraries for either tarball or tgz (slackware package) like rpm
have or is there? Is it possible to install the library part inside the
full package ("/openldap/library" for ldap and "/krb/src/lib" for krb)? In that
case can I just copy that directory between the servers and run make && make
install? As you can see I'm a newbie here.

Ones again thank u v m!
