Hi Raj
I believe it should be possible to setup samba and Fedora Directory Server on Different boxes.
For example
if i have setup Fedora directory server on one box and if it's called ldap.example.com
and samba on different box say samba.example.com
then my smb.conf would have below entries, i am just providing only those entries where we have to mention the ldap server name.
[global]
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ldap.example.com
idmap backend = ldap:ldap://ldap.example.com
And if you are using samba.schema and idealx scripts, then your smbldap.conf would contain
slaveLDAP="<ip-address-of slave-ldap-server of Fedora Directory Server"
# If not defined, parameter is set to "389"
slavePort="389"
masterLDAP="ldap.example.com/Ip-address-of-fedora directory server"
masterPort="389"
I hope the above helps.
Regards
Niranjan

I don't see why not, but I don't know.
