So i have gone through the archives and see a lot of
people asking if samba can use edirectory as a source
for user passwords. No i'm down the same road myself
=D my company is using edirectory 8.7.3 on Solaris and
redhat enterprise linux 3. the samba server only needs
to talk to the redhat edirectory server though. From
the 
turtorials that i have read a lot pf people hook up
edirectory and samba for a lot of user info but when
it comes time for the passwords they rely on smbpasswd
command to maintain a seperate samba user password
database. Is there no secure way of making samba fetch
user passwords from edirectory directly? -- Tara C.
