Hi, I was faced with the exact same problem. The work around was a multiple step process
1) Create a profile and home directory for each user on all the servers 2) Copy the passwd, group and shadow files to all the servers every hour or so 3) Each user has a 2 stage startup script, loaded from the profile directory on each server. The first one called start.bat runs and loads the main drives etc. it then runs home.bat which loads the users home drive of his base server. The start.bat file uses directories on the local machine, while the home.bat uses directories from the remote machine. 4) Password changes are done manually on the main server, and then a script is run to copy the password files and updated profiles etc. Regards Enrico ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Rati" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 11:05 PM Subject: [Samba] Help using multiple file servers > I am trying to setup samba so that I can authenticate users from a > single server, but use multiple file servers to server the home > directories and user profiles.
