If you want to contribute some doco or simply a discussion of what you did and how you did it, it would be most appreciated. You must use the 'add user' scripts etc - because we don't automatically create these users, and we don't allow users without a unix id to be represented.

You can't demote to BDC - it will try and sync the passwords, and that will fail badly.

I'm fighting with this at the moment. net rpc vampire isn't documented in the source distro (that I can find, anyway) but for anyone else playing with it, it does take a bit of fiddling to make it work. I presume there's a way to make all this work without creating Unix accounts (LDAP or winbindd) but since I'm trying not to go too far out on a limb, I will note that the use-unix-accounts option requires you to have working "add machine", "add user", and "add group" scripts. It will fail non-obviously if you don't have these (for example, it claims to be creating the groups, but doesn't do so, because you've not defined the script - this had me stumped for a while). The question I'd have, since it's pertinent to what I'm trying to do: Is it possible to "net rpc vampire" a PDC, then promote Samba to the PDC and demote the Windows box to the BDC? I don't care if syncing doesn't work after I've done that, I just need to be able to force every machine in the domain to recognise that the PDC is, er, not the PDC any more, but I can't take the PDC out of the domain entirely because there are other things running on it.

It should work, once you get the SIDs right, for users at least (assuming ldap or rsynced smbpasswd). Other things are harder to get synced across correctly.

[Samba] Samba 3 as BDC
Hi, I was wondering what is the current state of play with samba 3 being a BDC?? Is there any documentation anywhere?
