With difficulty. There are a number of ways to hack round the problem which you'll find if you search, but it's not supported functionality ATM. > Meaning: If I rip out the NT Domains, replace the PDCs with Samba PDCs > and rebuild new domains (new Domain Names, new NetBIOS names for the > PDCs, etc.) How do I get the three domains to once again trust each > other? Is there a Samba command to do this? Not at present. The current release branch of Samba (2.2.x) does not support trust relationships between domains. Samba 3.x will support this functionality, and I believe the code is already in CVS to do it. You could get an alpha of Samba 3.x, or a CVS checkout, and try to make it work with that. If I were you, I think I'd try this, but run 2 copies of Samba on each server, 3.x alpha for the PDC aspect, and 2.2.x for the actual file/print serving. You can bind two IP's to the NIC in your machines, and run 3.x on one IP, and 2.2 on the other.
