[Samba] SAMBA and LDAP

[charlie derr]

in addition to telling your server to accept those objectclasses you'll 
need to add a couple other attributes to add those (uidNumber, 
gidNumber, homeDirectory, etc -- see schema definitions of those 
objectClasses (in nis.schema that comes with openLDAP -- you didn't say 
which LDAP server you're using))

certainly if you're using openldap, you can construct ldifs directly to 
add the attributes/objectClasses you need -- this can be done 
programmatically (you can construct an interface and/or script(s)) with 
almost any language (there are LDAP APIs in all of them)


hopefully someone with more of a clue about samba than i will respond as 
to whether there's a better way to do this though
