After installing ldap using the smbldap-installer, I have noticed that I am able to create ldap users with the same username as my local (/etc/passwd) users. The local user and the ldap user can have different passwords, but seem to have access to the same files based on their username. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature. If it's a feature I'd like to use it on my laptop, so I can log in with the same username and have access to all my local whether I'm "on the network" or not.
So does anybody know if it is recommended/acceptable to do what I'm talking about?
