We've used slave ldap servers as our local office solution, it seems
like PITA at first, but really its not much trouble... we redistribute
old Optiplex GX100's with bigger IDE drives as the local pdc.

you could set up openldap to do syncrepl and have a full copy of your

ldap stuff is there and if you have it set up like a bdc, you can
still login, etc.
Yep, that's how it's normally done.

It's a solution for a small office.
this solution also applies to a small office :)
i know, you´re looking for caching, but as long as there´s no productive
way with samba and caching (creds) you should go for a BDC

i guess the real question here is what is your interest? are you more
interested in having the login functionality when the network link is
down or are you more interested in toying with the notion of having
samba run on a mini box?
i can certainly help you with the former if you wish. i

I was just visiting the opwrt site and noticed the open ldap is in their
download section.
It's the clients only + libs; no server.
Anyway, I think it's not that hard to compile OpenLDAP server for it.
The problem would be to authenticate the users against it - in

you could set up openldap to
