[Samba] LDAP + Samba + Windows2003

[Allgood, John]

Hello All

 

I am new to the list and have some questions. I want to setup ldap to
authenticate for Samba and Windows 2003 server. I have done a lot of
research and everything seems to indicate that I will need to setup
Samba to be a PDC and have it join the Windows 2003 server domain and
build samba with a ldap backend. Is there another way to do this so as I
will not have to setup samba to be a PDC. I have already setup my ldap
server using posix types accounts. Is this different that the Samba
accounts.

 

Thanks
