And there I have a problem, I dont have an existing domain. I dont even have any samba servers right now, except the PDC i am creating. I am struggeling with winbind right now, to get it up and running, but I think that is a bit outside the scope of this maillist and I better go to the samba list for that. If I have everything up and running I will create an howto and publish it in the different maillists.

Thanks

Lacking a radius server, it is pretty easy to configure winbind/samba to
authenticate against an existing Samba domain.  There are a number of
docs on the poptop homepage, most of them working off the info in this
great howto:

 Well, let me exactly explain what I want it to do, perhaps you, (or
 one of the list members) can point me in the right direction.

 I want to get poptop (VPN) authenticate to an ldap database. so
 poptop calls pppd, who in turn connects to LDAP using one way or the
 other. Thusfar, I have seen some pages (not working ofcourse) that
 people authenticate to a samba server, that connects to ldap.

 Until now I have a samba authentication server (no shares, or
 printers) that connects to LDAP, but i don't yet have a radius
 server. What is the easiest way to go? Connect to the samba server
 (running on the same machine) or setup a radius server?

 And does anyone have a WORKING howto for setting up either one of them?

 Thanks
