I've followed the Samba & Fedora Directory Server Integration How-To located at http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:Samba , and I'm about to upload my user accounts into the DS. I have two questions before I proceed, though: 1) At the end of the How-To, a "testuser" is added to the Samba server with the "smbpasswd -a" command. Wouldn't the DS make the user accounts visible to the Samba server, making it unecessary to add them via smbpasswd? If it's really necessary to add the accounts via smbpasswd, then the DS isn't really a backend to the Samba Server: they would be acting in parallel. 2) The section on ldapsam of "The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide" (http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-HOWTO/passdb.html#id2559672) mentions quite a few attributes for the sambaSamAccount ObjectClass, such as sambaLogonTime, sambaLMPassword, sambaPrimaryGroupSID, sambaAcctFlags, logoffTime, sambaKickoffTime, sambaPwdLastSet, sambaSID, sambaPwdCanChange, sambaPwdMustChange, and sambaNTPassword, that are not present in the ldif files generated by the openldap migrate_passwd.pl script recommended by the How-To. How should these attributes be added, if one follows the How-To? -- Oscar A. Valdez
