All are valid. I mean when setting up a samba domain with open ldap you should have at least 1 machine that is a PDC and at least 1 machine that has openldap on it. Unless this is a home install I believe you should have at least 2 of each. The choice of how to combine these services is up to the user. For my department (of less than 50 users but 30TB of raid on a 100% gigabit network) I have 3 DCs and 3 openldap servers. At the moment they are PDC + Openldap. Also since I have no user shares on the domain controllers (all data is on dual / quad core domain member servers) I have these as guests under a vps (openvz or lxc).

From: Daniel A. Creed on 31 Jul 2010 11:20 Is this for a heavy duty production environment? The reason I'm asking is Samba4 (with is in alpha stage) functions nearly exactly like and AD Server (can even manage it using the windows tools) does dynamic DNS updates, and works great... It's pretty easy to setup on CentOS as well..

From: Gaiseric Vandal on 31 Jul 2010 15:20 I would consider a newer Linux distribution besides CentOS 5.x I have worked with RHEL and Fedora. I think (not 100% sure) that Centos 5.x comes with Samba 3.0.x If you want Win 7 client support you would want samba 3.4.x or 3.5.x. Which means either a more current linux release or compiling it your self. I also found that on RHEL client that openldap server components were not included. -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces(a)lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces(a)lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of masatheesh Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2010 9:34 AM To: samba(a)lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Need suggestion for domain controller Hi, I wish to establish domain controller based on Centos 5.x.I am considering below setups. 1) Samba PDC 2) OpenLDAP 3) Combination of Samba PDC + LDAP I am confused to select one among above.Can anyone please suggest me? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

You can also examine, and hopefully compile for yourself from SRPM, the packages at http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.5/rhel/5/ to get you up to version 3.5.x. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
