    Hi,

    Right now I have 2 servers (corporate + mail/web), which have equal
    user accounts. What I would like to do is to use corporate server as
    central storage for user/password information. Corporate server offers
    file services (Samba, Netatalk, NFS + Printing/Faxing) + home
    directories for users, while mail/web server - only mail for company
    employes (and web).

    It is just too stupid to enter all accounts 3 times: on corporate
    servers for UNIX users, then on the same PC for Samba users, and third
    time on mail server.

    Right now all user/password information is being stored in /etc/shadow
    and /etc/samba/smbpasswd.

    The question is how to migrate all this on LDAP, and how to instruct
    mail server to take all user/password information from corporate
    server.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s)
