This is the last update to the Samba-Guide for a little while. I'm about to tackle the HOWTO for a make-over.

+<screen>
+nss_base_group ou=Groups,dc=abmas,dc=biz?one

+ The same process may be followed to determine the appropriate dn for user accounts.

+ following DIT dn in the <filename>/etc/ldap.conf</filename>:
+<screen>
+nss_base_passwd dc=abmas,dc=biz?sub
