I think you are right. The reason I've used this directive is so that I don't have to sync the passwords. The password is changed on the "Master" SMB server. The secondary SMB verifys the password using the master.
But yes.. the passwd and group files need to be synced so that permissions can be enforced. So, when can we get that LDAP server integrated with SAMBA online?

See "password server =" smb.conf directive. So on the > Seconday/File Server add a line "password server = (SMB name of Master > Server)" I have it configured this way and it works great. You still need the user and group lists to be replicated, if I've understood your suggestion correctly. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Group http://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 368 4376 or 564 8000 Fax: +1 (613) 564 7739 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
