Hi list,
I read the samba doc but i didn't find any answer to my problem, maybe you can help me or just point me where to find the solution. That would be very appreciated.

Our company has three offices in different cities plus a head office. All of those office are linked using VPNs. For now, we have a domain at the head office using samba3 as a PDC, a master LDAP server for authentication. The other offices a configured as Workgroup (WG1, WG2 and WG3) and are relatively independant and on their own. We would like to centralize all the information but keep the bandwith use to minimal. I would like to setup a BDC and a LDAP slave in each office.

My concern is not about how to configure Samba and LDAP for authentication. It is mostly on how can i tell samba where are the homes of the users depending on wich user is logged in.We want to be sure that each and every user will still be able to use their home in case the link between our sites go down. The best way to work it out would probably to place the homes of all the users of WG1 on the BDC that will replace the server currently in place but it doesn't work. When a user logs in, he authenticates on the BDC but all the rest of the logon process is switch to the PDC.

I use "logon home", "logon path", "logon drive" and "logon script" in my smb.conf and i'm trying to figure out how to modify my configuration. I'm sure the solution is pretty simple but i'm still looking for it.

thanks
Olivier Houde
