Linux openLDAP and SAMBA on Linux

More videos like this on http://www.theurbanpenguin.com :
In this episode, in our opeLDAP series, we look at creating a SAMBA PDC that uses the openLDAP server as its backend. We are now really increasing the functionality of the Identity System. At this stage ask yourself: how much did all this cost? In this demo we are using openSUSE so the answer is quite simply ZILCH!

Your entire video series has helped me TREMENDOUSLY! Thank you!

I see on this video you are able to have a WindowsXP box join the samba domain. Do you have any information on what is needed for a Win7 Pro box to join the domain? Thanks.

When you add or edit a group, select the "plugins" tab and double click the "Manage Samba attribute of LDAP groups" to enable the plugin. Then click the launch button to select a Samba group name for that group.

- When you want to add groups that are also available in the Samba domain, use the Yast "User and Group Administration" dialog. In the groups tab select the LDAP groups filter.

2 tips for other people that follow this video:

- I had to enable WINS server support and Use WINS for Hostname resolution in the Identity tab of the Samba Yast dialog.

I will havea video for you before the end of next week. The computer accounts can go into LDAP or /etc/passwd. In the last video the machine accounts went straight into the /etc/passwd file
