Lots of folks have samba 3 running over OpenLDAP. Syncrepl is what I'd use if I was setting it up today, but I have a very reliable and mature implementation already running slurpd, so I am going to stick with that for the moment.
As for multi-master, I agree with Zeilinga's comments on LDUP. Google for "multimaster considered harmful" or read http://www.openrowley.com/2006/10/05/is-multi-master-replication-really-harmful/ if you don't know what I'm talking about. We have one PDC and WINS server per physical site, which is more reliable and fault-tolerant than anything else I've tried, but it does make LDAP configuration a bit dicey since the Samba Team doesn't yet understand why anyone would want to combine a unified authentication infrastructure with geographically localized network control. Setting up domain trusts with our configuration is tricky. --Charlie On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 10:44 AM, Carlos Eduardo Pedroza Santiviago <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'd like to know if any of you have ever implemented Samba 3 with > OpenLDAP multimaster (using syncrepl, maybe) or Fedora-DS.
