you should not be allowed to make changes on a LDAP slave, which has to be made sure by appropiate LDAP-ACLs. For write operations clients connected to the slave must be forwarded to the master-ldap by ldap referrals. > The main problem is that the master and slave ldap server will be out > of sync. Can samba auto detect and fix it? This would be a feature of the LDAP-Server, as samba can't cover all attributes other clients may have changed. If you need this look out for an LDAP sevrer which supports multi-master modes. By the way: samba runs fine with an read-only copy of your LDAP as long as you don't need to administrate something or a password needs to be changed. This can cover downtimes of you LDAP-master without user service interruptions.
