[Samba] Re: A little help with nss_ldap - User xxx in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!

[Robert Silvia]

I've given up on Yast... it doesn't always catch dependences; refusing 
to install something with no message indicting why.

I found that installing apt from guru's rpm site is the best way to go 
in terms of updates and installing additional software.

I know I will no longer use Suse as a server,

I'm sure if I purchased the enterprise addition with all the support it 
would be a very nice solution; but without the support it is very 
frustrating.

I do however enjoy it as a desktop (well 9.2 at least) for my laptop, 
their replacement for acpi works very well with my laptop's speed stepping.
