Need some pointers to information

[Mont Rothstein <mont.rothstein@xxxxxxxxx>]

I want to use a Linux server as a file server for Windows
clients.  I would like to be able to add users to the Directory
Server pragmatically and from that have users be able to access the
Linux server via Samba.  Save/edit/delete files, and set
ACLs.  This server will not be the PDC, and there may or may not
be a PDC on the network at all (computers may be a simple workgroup).

I've been going through the various docs and how-tos on setting up
Fedora Directory Server, Samba, and integrating the two, but everything
I have been reading seems to assume that my Linux server will be the
PDC.  The process for adding users seems to be to create a Unix
user and then make them a Samba user.  Which is basically the
opposite of what I want.  I would like to add the user to the
Directory Server and have that fully enable the user's access to the
Linux server.

Perhaps I am just confused.  I've searched and searched but I
can't find anything that looks at/talks about the Fedora Directory
Server and Samba from this direction.

Any help here is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Mont
