[Samba] Linux samba ldap pdc - linux based client

[jcdole at free.fr]

      SAMBA LDAP PDC OS : Opensuse 11.3 X86-64 with full optionnal server software installed

CLIENT OS : Opensuse 11.3 X86-64 with minimal desktop workstation configuration



Samba : 3.5.4-5.1.2

Ldap : 2.4.21-9.1

Smbldap-tools : 0.9.5-26

nss_ldap : 265-4.2

pam_ldap : 185-4.2

perl-ldap : 0.40-2.4





After complete reinstall of the server and the linux client, I was able to make linux client to join the SAMBA DOMAIN.



But after reboot of the linux client, the user root was not able to log onto the domain.

Is it normal ?



A normal user logged onto the domain to become super-user ( su command ) must give the samba-ldap admin password.

Is it normal ?





On the client side, could you tell me what files must be considered and 
what is the difference in content from the server side files ?



/etc/hosts

/etc/nsswitch.conf

/etc/pam.d/common-session-pc

/etc/samba/smb.conf

/etc/samba/smbuser

/etc/openldap/ldap.conf

/etc/ldap.conf





Is there more config files to be considered





Concerning linux client side configuration, Is there any information/howtos I can find on the net ?





Thank you for helping me
