[NBLUG/talk] Linux and LDAP

[Mark Street]

I have done quite a bit of reading on this lately.  This would be a Linux 
Client Domain member.

You could use two solutions that I know of;

1.  Samba 3 & Winbind - Michael Lane mentioned this solution too.  UID and GID 
is consistent on the Domain Member servers but differs from the ID's on the 
Domain Controllers.

2.  PADL, PAM and LDAP - UID and GID of users will be globally consistent on 
Domain Members as well as Domain Controllers.

I just finished a really good practical textbook for Samba that has ALOT of 
very good practical examples and ideas;
