When you install Samba services on OES 2, the default value of the field is the eDirectory context where the admin user is created.
If your User objects for Samba reside in the same context as admin or in a sub-context of that container, you do not need to change the default setting.
If your User objects for Samba are not located in the same context as admin or in a subcontext, you must change the setting at install time to a context that includes (either directly or as a sub-context) the Samba users.
If you need to change the base context after you have already installed and configured Novell Samba, see Section 3.2.2, Installing Novell Samba After Initial Server Installation.
