[K12OSN] Linux Client Authentication with Samba PDC?

[cliebow at midmaine.com]

Look for Matt Oquist's smbldap-installer David Trask inspired on the
server side..on the client side you'll find directions in the ubuntu
forems..it boils down to in ubuntu installing libpam-ldap, libnssldap and
altering the pam.d common? config files..im away from school so cant give
you a url..chuck
