OK - I'm actually functioning but I'm afraid and I want to fill in a knowledge gap - perhaps a slight gap in the How-To Book or my ability to soak in its' wisdom.
LDAP up and working on two machines, master & slave and changes made in master can be found by ldapsearch on slave faster than two up arrows and a return (gosh, it only took me 10 days but the light bulb has definitely lit). Two Linux systems PDC - Linux2 - also is LDAP master BDC - Linux1 - also is LDAP slave smbpasswd -w PASSWORD puts binddn password into secrets.tdb Machine is added to domain, no problem right, because PDC fields this whereas BDC handles most of logon chores. What if PDC/LDAP is offline? Doesn't Machine Add then get added to slave LDAP? How about if user changes his password? Do I really want the secrets.tdb to have rootdn PASSWORD? Shouldn't this be a non-rootdn in the BDC's smb.conf with only sufficient access to see sambaNTPassword & sambaLMPassword with read only and no write privileges to anything? I.E. PDC down, no password changes, no new machine accounts. Craig -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
