Re: [opensuse] Samba Users
what I would do is to make the SLES box to authenticate to LDAP, and create all the users in the LDAP directory (In that way you don't have to create the users twice)... you could use something like LAM to manage the accounts Best Regards Victor Prada On Tue, 2008-02-05 at 20:08 +0000, Sudhir wrote:

The user and password have to be created in SuSE using Yast and in Samba (using swat). On the PC here, Samba is restarted to ensure the new users are setup.

I have only a simple setup at home and do not manage a corporate type network where your suggestion would be better suited.
