Not quite. Even if the master is not mentioned in the smb.conf, Samba will follow the 'referral', from the current LDAP server to find where it should make the write. > 4) samba try to update the master directory : succes > 5) all next operations will be done first with the slave ldap server > > Is that the good senario ? > Thanks This is basically how it works. Except for writes, it will also contact the master (the second server in the config line) if the slave just isn't there.
