Samba 3.0 + LDAP + PDC + BDC

[brucehohl]

For the adventuresome looking for a scalable all Linux file / print / domain controller solution attached are my set-up notes for a Samba + LDAP + PDC + BDC set up. I've made these notes as easy to follow as possible given this complex topic but I'm sure there are some rough edges so I welcome comments. I used Suse 9.0 but the notes in almost all cases go back to the config files so this set-up should work for most distributions. In fact, the brains behind this efforts (I got much help) mixed Suse and Red Hat with success. The referenced Idealx docs and tools which have been incorporated into Samba 3.0 were very important. My [untuned] test boxes have been running for over a month without problem.

In the archive file start with Samba-XDC.sxw.
