Greetings! I've been on the list for some time, and have recently deployed a samba 3.0.0 server / LDAP backend in order to provide domain authentication and roaming profiles. One question that I have is, when vlans are used, what is the best way to propagate the server across them? If I turn on WINS and use my dhcp server to give the wins information, all the NetBIOS information will flow freely - however, at a school system, the vlans are in place to keep the students from seeing the teacher machines (The see no evil effect). The other way that I know to do this is the lmhosts import on the client machines, and this works nicely but is another step to repeat 1500 times. MS Spams our DDNS with a lot of AD stuff, _ldap_tcp, _kerebos, etc, but samba does not.
So, what's the 'preferred' method for announcing the server and hiding the clients cross-subnet? Can we statically add the Samba server with the _ldap, _kerebos, and other SRV listings into our DNS [and it work], or should the lmhosts be the best solution. I'm open to suggestions and ready to really test this beast out!
