I was hoping the msdsf would replicate data but it appears it doesnt appear to or am i missing something? I used a program in the past called File replication pro on Suse/novell and it worked. I haave emailed their support and asked if it will work in our situation. I am going to give it a go in the Samba4 test environment over the weekend, ill let you know if it works.
