Then you would have to realize that the samba schema has objectclasses/attributes that have nothing to do with posixAccount/posixGroup/inetOrgPerson attributes (well, I do use posixGroup but that is with sambaGroupMapping attributes. Then you would want to use a client that allows a single password entry and encodes it for the userPassword (posixAccount/shadowAccount) attribute and for the sambaNTPassword and optionally the sambaLMPassword. Clients for this purpose are listed here... http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_LDAP or of course, you can write your own code to accomplish this Craig -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
