Read only ldap authentication for Samba
We have a Sun One Directory server on our network that holds our user records. I would like to set up Samba so that it uses this server for its authentication.
It seems like I should be able to do this, but every example I see on the web seems to require putting the directory manager password in some of the conf files for samba and the requisite pam conf files. I don't have this information and doubt I would get it from the administrators.
I just want to allow users in the ldap to use the samba server.
Is there an easy way to allow read only (users can't change their ldap settings or passwords) authentication via ldap for samba?
I have been banging my head against this for a day or so and thought I would turn it over to the community to see if they can offer some help or point me to some good resources.
Thanks in advance.
Jim
