Hello everyone. I have been trying for about a week now, I have emailed people and posted on forums and still I am a bit confused. I currently have a Linux boxwith Debian installed. I have samba running as a PDC currently when a user logs into the domain windows mentions that there was not roaming profile found. Can anyone help me with that? Anyways to the big question, 'LDAP'. I want to centrualize authentication to be powered by LDAP. Currently I have openLdap install. Within the smb.config file I have the following. passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1 ldap suffix = dc=test,dc=net ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=test,dc=net ldap machine suffix = ou=machines ldap delete dn = no Theabove is included within the smb.config file. Is this enough to allow samba to reference ldap for user name and passwords. And finally I wish to create the followin Ldap structure dc=test,dc=net -ou=machines --cn=andrew,dc=test,dc=net -ou=Home -ou=webpages -ou=admins I am using phpldapadmin to create this structure, but i have no idea how to set permission to each group. For instants I want the ou=admins to have root like privilages, whiles the ou=home user to have the ability to read only there home drives. Can anyone help me the answer to these questions are eluding me. Regards, Ands
