Well, I can't recall I've seen that ADS is unstable.
If you have a Win 2003 PDC which is using kerberos (it uses kerberos
per default so if you havn't changed it you are using kerberos)
then you can make your samba servers members of the domain using ADS
and kerberos to get Single Sign ON through the kerberos tickets.
Of course it won't solve your problem with the W2003 server going down.
Regarding winbind offline mode as I understand it, it should be
possible for a computer which is using cached credentials to access
the shares.
I would check with the samba developers as there is very little info
regarding this in the docs.

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?
Dear Henrik,
I did not use Kerberos yet, my configuration is very simple.
Do you think I should use it ?
What is windbind offline mode ? If I understand well is more a
client feature
than a server feature, right ?
I join the domain with:
#> net rpc join -S myserver.mydomain -U Administrator%password
and my smb.conf is:
[global]
workgroup = MYDOMAIN
server string = File server for Office 2
encrypt passwords = true
password server = myserver.mydomain
netbios name = office2_fs
security = DOMAIN
show add printer wizard = No
idmap uid = 15000-20000
idmap gid = 15000-20000
winbind separator = +
winbind use default domain = Yes
winbind cache time = 3600
use sendfile = Yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
enhanced browsing = No
client schannel = no
local master = No
domain master = No
load printers = yes
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
