Daniel:


   I deleted the following options from the smb.conf

#ldap user suffix = ou=People
#ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers


But I left the options set in my smbldap.conf.


usersdn="ou=Users,dc=mydc,dc=com"
computersdn="ou=Computers,dc=mydc,dc=com"

I set my nss_ldap as such:

nss_base_passwd  dc=mydc,dc=com?sub
nss_base_shadow  dc=mydc,dc=com?sub


---

The end result is some extra sub queries - which is ok for me.  I also 
get the benefit of having the logical separation between the Users and 
Computers.   I really like that.   I am still limited by uid names, and 
I can think of a few other unsavory situations.   However, I do like it 
that way and it works very nicely.


I am glad you got yours going.


thanks,
   Joshua
