[Samba] using passdb backend = smbpasswd and ldap linux authentication

[tony archibald]

Hi thanks for your reply.
yes  i think so : i have the following in /etc/nsswitch.conf

passwd:       files ldap
shadow:       files ldap
group:          files ldap
netgroup:      files ldap
automount:  files ldap

cheers Tony
