[Samba] LDAP versus LDAPSAM

[Philip Juels]

Okay, that makes sense.  So, since I'm running a SuSE 8.2 system 
openldap-2-2.1.12-74 and samba-2.2.7a-72 (ldap option), I don't need to 
worry about ldapsam.  Does samba under this installation know to use the 
ldap.conf for ldap client settings or does it need to have entries in 
the smb.conf?

Thanks,

Phil Juels
