As I remember the winbind offline is something different and won't
be a substitute for a member server.
I really haven't had the time yet to look into this new mode but
would be interested in any findings you make.
You are already using kerberos correct?
What is your security setting in smb.conf?
Cheers

Dear all Samba list,
I'm currently facing some little problem with samba, I search for
advices on
our offices architecture. This is what we have:
- We got 2 offices with "unstable" ADSL connection (sometime more
that 5 connections shutdown a day)
- We use a VPN and our 2 offices are on the following internal
subnets:
Office 1: 10.0.0.0/24
Office 2: 10.0.1.0/24
There is no firewall restrictions between the 2 offices with the
VPN.
- The Office 1 got a ADS Server 2003 (ads_office1) and a Debian/
Sarge with Samba 3.0.23C file server (fs_office1), all is ok,
working very well
- The Office 2 got only a Debian/Sarge Samba 3.0.23c file server
(call it fs_office2) connected to the remote VPN ADS 2003. This
server
is in a DOMAIN security mode (because I read that the ADS
security mode is currently not so stable)
Where did you read that? :)
All my users (Windows XP SP2 only) must be in the same ADS
network (Exchange service, sharing of file, internet access control)
We face multiple problems is with the second office, each time we
got a disconnection, we have to re-join the domain, restart
samba and winbind, also this Office 2 cannot access to the file
server in a disconnected mode (some time no internet in this
office for a whole day)
So, I would like your advice on the following questions:
- Do we have to change the server fs_office2 to a Microsoft 2003
server, is this the best solution ?
- Do Samba can configure itself to use a cache system or a domain
duplication or a domain master in ADS 2003?
is there solution to make samba deliver locally the credential
in case of networks
disconnection ? is it stable to go on this solution ?
Pure ADS member with AD replication is not available inte the
SAMBA 3 branch yet. SAMBA 4 is supposed to handle this but is
currently only in TP4 pre alpha stage and should only be used in
testing purposes.
If yes (I hope), how to do this, what is the est architecture,
the best samba configuration ?
Unfortunately I think that the best solution is to have a W2003 at
the second office also until SAMBA 4 is stable but hopefully some
more experienced samba users have another idea. :)
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Guillaume
Cheers,
henrik

Dear Henrik, Dear All,
What about the new offline mode in winbind (in 3.0.23) ? can it
solve the problem ?
do I need to install pam and kerberos for this ?
Regards,
Guillaume
