[Samba] ldap, quickie...

[ww m-pubsyssamba]

I beleive the confusion is because an LDAP DN can be either in the format "cn=xx,ou,yy,dc=ddd" or "uid=xx,ou=yy,dc=ddd" and this is dependant on the object you are describing. Take a look at the object with an ldapsearch and it will tell you what the DN is,

	thanks Andy,

No - not a stupid question.

I have found that samba 3 wants uid values.

Also, it would seem that the general container for users & machines is
ou=People,... but you do have the opportunity to have it your way.
