you seriously expect help posting such an insulting message as that? Bold red writing is not going to make you any friends here. Go read the documentation and come back when you have a suitably specific question. we are not here to nanny you through large projects.

My God,
its like watching children...

dharminders, huge red letters with such a generic question won t get you any answers, although to be honest usually I havent been answered much anyway

acid_kewpie, stupid answer to a stupid post. I usually live by the moral, if you re not going to say something useful in a constructive way, shut it...

Anyway, answering vaguely your post, I just set up one myself on a Fedora Core 4 with Samba 3.

Start at
www.samba.org
http://info.ccone.at/INFO/Samba-2.2....PDC-HOWTO.html
http://www.freeos.com/articles/3842/...SSID=d6428594c

Its not too hard, just make sure you watch out for issues with SeLinux, check the post I wrote yesterday.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=417610

I suggest you start off using the most straightforward config you can find and getting that to work.
In this case try no roaming profiles & smbpasswd file for user logins.

Good luck
Azh

a PDC is NOT an LDAP server, they are totally different things...

and have some manners, i'm just doing my job.

Well if your looking at setting up an OpenLDAP server look at my wesbite listed below.

http://www.yourhowto.org/content/view/16/9/ - Setup OpenLDAP

below is a how-to for LAM/OpenLDAP/Samba as a PDC

http://www.yourhowto.org/content/view/30/9/ - LAM/OpenLDAP/Samba as a PDC

Just so your aware, Samba cannot act as a Active directory Replacement, it has limitations ( http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=308484 ), i strongly suggest you start googleing for information on samba as a PDC before trying this out.

you also might want to try out one of my setup server-scripts,

i hope this helps someone out
