Do you mean you have other server / pc running Samba that you want to
make available ?
If so just set them to use your main Samba 3 / OpenLDAP server as there
"password server" something like this in the smb.conf file
password server = 192.168.0.254
I have about 3 Samba servers that authenticate against our main server.
Currently we use NIS to share users & groups but in the summer moving
over to completely LDAP. Not too hard as most of out servers are eithre
Suse9.x or RH9 so LDAP / PAM stuff builtin.
