Samba - Share Home Directory LDAP Authentication

[gregdarthur]

I'm currently running Centos and I want to have Samba share my home directories ( ex. \\sambaserver\garthur ) and have it authenticate against my LDAP server. I believe there is a RPM required to allow samba to use LDAP as an authentication method? Also how would the configuration look like in smb.conf and anywhere else?

Thanks!

Here is a nice howto:

Notes:
At first time do not use TSL
You can use authconfig-tui to modify /etc/pam.d/system-auth
Install the correct perl-modules before you use the smbldap-tools (Unicode::MapUTF8 Crypt::SmbHash Net::LDAP)
