+====== Samba with LDAP ======
+For Samba I don't go through the hassle of converting existing info in the smbpasswd file - instead the accounts will be added with ''smbpasswd'' utility after changing Samba's config file.
+Before we can add Samba accounts to the [[LDAP]] Server we need a schemafile wich is available from the samba-doc package:
+  #> apt-get install samba-doc
+  #> zcat /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/examples/LDAP/samba.schema.gz \
+     > /etc/ldap/schema/samba.schema
+Edit ''/etc/ldap/slapd.conf'' to include this schema and restart the server.
+Now we can reconfigure Samba - you should stop Samba before doing so. Now edit ''/etc/samba/smb.conf'' and add some LDAP options to the global section:
+<file>
+passdb backend = ldapsam
+ldap server   = 127.0.0.1
+ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=my,dc=home
+ldap suffix   = dc=my,dc=home
+</file>
+Restart Samba and give it the LDAP admin password with ''smbpasswd -w <secret>''. Now you can add samba password to your existing users with ''smbpasswd -a <user>''..
