Hi Gordon,
What should my passdb backend be set to?
Yes, you are correct, I'd rather dispense with having my ldap db be populated with Samba attributes.
I've setup Samba + LDAP before, just unsure how to break the model. I mean the docs are great for doing things proper, just unsure how to do it improper if you know what I mean.
