At this point, we've no need for Samba-- our AD is separate from our
LDAP directory, and the integration is handled elsewhere. =20

Unfortunately we have about 50K LDAP users, so creating local users for
all of them is unfeasible unless there's a batch process to do this.

I know it's possible under CentOS (I think via OpenLDAP?) with a minimum
of hassle...

Hey,

We are using FreeBSD with Samba+OpenLDAP, each user effectively needs
mapping to a local user so what we've used to give us the ability to
type :
   cd ~user
and get their home dir, as well as type :
   id 10000
to get their username/groups... is to install nss_ldap, pam_ldap, edit
the files in /etc/pam.d/, there is a lot of good information on this,
have a look at the Samba docs as well as the documentation for
pam_ldap and nss_ldap.
