Thanks a lot! for ur speedy reply...
The link u sent i looked at it very closely... i am still confused
what to do...
It is not explained anywhere howto setup LDAP for Linux Samba BDC..
that means do i have to setup Linux Samba BDC as LDAP server or client
or ???
I believe if i setup Linux Samba BDC as a LDAP server then do i have
to setup WIN-NT PDC as LDAP client and how to transfer all the machine
accounts, users, groups and passwords from NT to Linux..
So that when WIN-NT PDC fails then Linux SAMBA BDC can takeover the
network...

Yeri,
The dogma to use rsync to replicate the password database is bad karma.
"It's a bit like your karma runs over your dogma."
MS Windows NT Domain member machines change their password at certain
intervals. If they do so on a local copy of the database nad it gets
over-written by the rsync'd copy then your local workstation trusts get
broken.
A better solution is to use LDAP, and follow the guidelines available
from
several sources on how to set up a PDC/BDC using an LDAP backend.
The following reference might help you:

Can anybody give me a hint how to set up Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0) with
rsync-ing WIN-NT PDC so that if WIN-NT PDC is down all the clients can
still get Authentication service from Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0). i have
seen
in Samba documentation that it can be done using rsync but nowhwere it
is clearly explained howto do it.. I ran out of gas by looking through
google also... :-(
