I'm working on a shell scritp to configure a Linux/Win PDC Server with Samba-OpenLdap.
I've done it manually twice and it's harsh. I mean there's a lot of configuration and i know you don't need to do it so frequently but anyway i decided to put my efforts on creating a super script to make all the thing step by step, any tips are welcomed.

PS: I'm using Linux RedHat Enterprise 4

Doesn't Red Hat Enterprise come with a GUI-based configure dialog under System Tools for Samba?
I haven't really tried it against OpenLDAP; I personally find OpenLDAP yucky config-wise, and I think you have too.

Sorry I haven't been able to help much. =/

Thanks for replying WAY. I know those graphicals tools. In fact I've always used Webmin as graphical aplication for linux configuration on Susse, RedHat & Kubuntu without major problems.
But i want to do a script just for educational purposes. OpenLDAP is harsh indeed, that's what I need to know every files are modified at the configuration process. So far i have all the process covered (theorycally) but i still don't know what files touches the SetUp utility (command line: setup, and comes a some kind of graphical menu where you specify the authentication method domain name, etc).
And then with grep and sed comands search/check/edit them.

If you want, you can try and catch me on IRC and I can forward you on to some folk who are a bit more knowledgable than me when it comes to LDAP; hopefully they can give you a hand. :)

I'm normally on irc.oftc.net under the nick 'halex'. You can either PM me on-server or find me in #bongo.

Thanks WAY, today i'm going to gather with a friend to start this project.
As soon as we get stuck, i'll contact you. i'll share the script in this forum when we end it.
