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. nathan On Thursday 18 May 2006 17:25, you wrote: > On Thu, 2006-05-18 at 15:32 -0700, Nathan England wrote: > > Do you have to have samba setup and using the ldap backend for any type > > of login authentication or is just LDAP enough? > > > > I'm playing with a few web based things that have the ability to > > authenticate logins via LDAP...
