samba against external LDAP

[superFerra]

Hello,
i'd like to know how to setup Samba server to authenticate users against EXTERNAL ldap server. "EXTERNAL" means that it is on another machine (UNIX).
Do i need to install slapd daemon on samba machine?
Or samba is enough? (using ldapsam as backend)
Thanks

You do not need to install or run the daemon to do this. Depending on how you intend to use the server, you might need libnss-ldap (for user/group ownership of local files) and smbldap-tools (to give samba the ability to add/modify/delete user accounts in the ldap directory).
