There seems to be a lot of install/design documentation regarding FDS,

Hi,
FDS includes the posixAccount, posixGroup, and inetOrgPerson object
classes. You don't really need more than this to do simple user
authentication for linux and apache, as well as basic personnel info
management.
And if you want to also use it as a back end for samba windows domain
authentication with the same users/passwords?

First you would have to import the samba schema appropriate for the
version of samba you are using.
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
Is it really all that different from using an ldap backend as described in the
Samba HowTo??
Is there any reason the idealx scripts and the standard samba schema will not
work?
Just want to be sure I am not missing something, migrating to FDS is on my list
of things to do.
