Samba / LDAP / PAM / NSS - HowTo?

We have our email servers (for authentication) running off of LDAP (Postfix & CourierIMAP).

We want to add Samba authentication/authorization to the LDAP profile.  There are lots of moving parts to make this work and we haven't quit figured it out yet.

Does anyone know of a good information source that describes the neccessary configuration steps.  We know lots about LDAP and Samba - we just can't seem to get the two to work together.

I think we are stuck on PAM.  We've read lots of documentation but it just isn't jellying in our heads and most of the examples are for Redhat (that we can find).

I realize this is short on details for our specific problem - any pointers to information or working configurations that can be examined would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris....

Sorry for asking this question but it seem there is no pkg name smbldap-tools provided by archlinux. Could you guys tell me how's your installation?

Or did you just install from original pkg?

Thanks.

Re: Samba / LDAP / PAM / NSS - HowTo?

I realized that samba installation in arch doesn't include samba.schema. I'd copy from original pkg and extract the file to the right folder but when I issue # slaptest

it's give me this error;

/etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema: line 277: Unexpected token before  NAME 'sambaTrustPassword' SUP top STRUCTURAL    DESC 'Samba Trust Password'    MUST ( sambaDomainName $ sambaNTPassword $ sambaTrustFlags )    MAY ( sambaSID $ sambaPwdLastSet ))

slaptest: bad configuration file!

What should I do then?
