Next OpenLDAP Question

[Nathan England]

I don't know the different accounts setting them up on the command line but 
there is an option in phpldapadmin to add a Samba3 Account. Is this what I 
should do or just a regular account?

I haven't got the books yet, so what I am doing is making changes with 
ldapadmin then looking at the command line to see what it did. I pretty much 
understand it, just putting it all together now without many resources is 
kind of tough.
