[aklug] Re: samba authentications

Lee,
Its been some years since I did that, and the last time I
did it I used a branded version with unix, but it worked
pretty well. Then MS came out with its unix utilities and
the work surrounding that ironed out some of the remaining
authentication issues. Unfortunately, anything I would have
stuck in a corner somewhere would probably be more a
hindrance than a help and would have you running down blind
alleys.

Most recently I used SAMBA with Suse SLES and everything was
  fully integrated. In fact, as I recall there was some
info about integrating LDAP (which is one of the SUSE SLES
defaults for USER authentication) with SAMBA.... and all
the docs were packaged up with it.... you might want to
download a copy of opensuse to install just to work through
the SAMBA docs.....
