Re: Anyone familiar with using samba as PDC with LDAP ?




This isn't an answer, but might provide a clue.
I had something similar once in Solaris NIS+. su root on a client made you into 'nobody'.

http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/nag/node144.html :
"root squash:
       This is a security feature that denies the super user on the specified hosts any special
access rights by mapping requests from uid 0 on the client to uid 65534 (-2) on the server. This uid
should be associated with the user nobody. "
