I want to use a Linux server as a file server for Windows clients.  I would like to be able to add users to the Directory Server pragmatically and from that have users be able to access the Linux server via Samba.  Save/edit/delete files, and set ACLs.  This server will not be the PDC, and there may or may not be a PDC on the network at all (computers may be a simple workgroup).

I've been going through the various docs and how-tos on setting up Fedora Directory Server, Samba, and integrating the two, but everything I have been reading seems to assume that my Linux server will be the PDC.  The process for adding users seems to be to create a Unix user and then make them a Samba user.  Which is basically the opposite of what I want.  I would like to add the user to the Directory Server and have that fully enable the user's access to the Linux server.

Perhaps I am just confused.  I've searched and searched but I can't find anything that looks at/talks about the Fedora Directory Server and Samba from this direction.

Any help here is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
