Hi

Thanks for the help.
I was confinced it was PAM related.
I found my slap.conf was config'd like my standalone domain controller,
or the wrong/old doc's [too late to research that] the samples at the bottom.
We migrated users and groups tonight in the lab :)

Question...

In Chapter 9, it says to leave smbd off untill after shutting down the PDC
and BDCs -but- the smbldap-tools ./configure.pl script complains if it's
not running.
I start it and then stop it immediatly after running ./configure.pl.
Does the documentation need updating??  It seems this method is ok.

Thanks for the help.
Kevin
