LDAP Server and Authentication & Samba Domain

[steever]

HI David - I hope you can help me ... I can authenticate users against the
Samba/LDAP server, and automount home drives etc, but only when the users
physically log into the server.  When they try to log in from a thin client,
it doesn't work.  I think it's got something to do with the LDM.  How do you
manage it?

Steve
