Hi Andrew,

I'm not using openldap at all. I am using winbind/SAMBA and ridmapping
to pull records directly from Active Directory. I am wondering if I
can use samba to point to smb printers elsewhere since samba/winbind
is already passing my credentials to windows? It would be sort of a
weird setup I'd share the printers via an entry in smb.conf but those
entries would actually point at printers running on a windows
printserver. Just a thought, anyone encountered/done something like
this?

John
