Re: Quick Samba Question

[Aly Dharshi <aly dharshi uleth ca>]

Hello All,

	True, that I could use Samba via PAM but the actual idea is I want to move most 
of the RID and other similar information into LDAP, using PAM will just allow me 
to authenticate against an LDAP server the passwords, but the other information 
will remain in a flat files. I want to make everything central via LDAP server/s.

	So am I to take it that RedHat doesn't package its Samba packages with LDAP 
support not via PAM. I tried doing the RPM build from the samba package rpm -ta 
samba.xxx.tar.gz which worked fine and built me a set of rpms but none compiled 
with ldap support so I have to wonder if I have to unpack the tarball and force 
it with options on the commmand line.

	Cheers,

	Aly.
