Hi, I came across an answer from the "Samba-3 by Example" Book www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf: Page 244, figure 6.3: The addition of a failover LDAP server can simply be done by adding a second entry for the failover server to the single ldapsam entry, as shown here (note the particular use of the double quotes): ... passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://master.abmas.biz \ ldap://slave.abmas.biz"; ... >From the man smb.conf: search for passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap (samba-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1, Red Hat EL 5.x) ... Multiple servers may also be specified in double-quotes. Whether multiple servers are supported or not and the exact syntax depends on the LDAP library you use. ... If this feature is taken away in other distris or releases I can't say, but why should it?
