Aha! I have not since the implication is that is where pdbedit would be 
looking. 
In fact, I was hoping to be able to do this using Yast only, and have the 
end user use Yast for user and group creation, Samba management. 

I notice that the Samba 3 By Example guide recommend use of nis.schema 
instead of the Suse standard. I would assume that is because the scripts 
prefer this schema. 

My main problem is that I must provide a simple to use interface for 
Samba/Server/User management. I've been testing (playing with?) LAM, and 
trying to get IMC running (isn't working on SLES9). 

To be blunt, I'd rather we were using eDirectory and iManager for all of 
this, but in this case, I don't get a choice. 

Thank you......
