Printing is separate enough I think so that you can live
with an rsync master and have the clients choose one server
by dns round-robin or so.

Heh, cool, this is exactly what I have now... however, everytime I reload the samba servers from the /etc/init.d/samba method, they invariably come up showing //printserver with only 2 objects - not the normal 505. They lose their minds somehow.

However, I notice that if I use the SWAT method (manually from a browser) I can 'restart all' on the services and everything works as expected. So, I'm not sure what's up here, but I'd sure like to have what I've got work. Any idea what's up with my way of restarting. btw, I realize I need to sync the ntprinters.tdb, the drivers.tdb, and all the various printers.tdb, right. Also need to sync the cups printers.conf file first - reload cups, and then reload samba. If cups is down, samba shows no printers. So, it seems I'm screwing up somewhere in there. That's why I'm going down the road of clusterfs, etc. Can you be a little more specific on how to restart samba via script such that it's how swat does it, or more the "correct" way?

thanks,
Jack
