security = domain is for domain member servers, which are servers that are part of the domain but don't authenticate users, handle roaming profiles, etc. basically you'd use them for print servers, or more file shares.

why don't you just have a PDC and use BDCs? sure you can have a bunch of domains and PDCs, but if its all for the same company, just go with the PDC and then a BDC on each subnet. PDCs and BDCs both use security = user

Consider the following scenario:

- a single OpenLDAP server, with a single instance of the object class sambaDomain and a single SID:

dn: sambaDomainName=myserver,ou=samba,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: sambaDomain
sambaDomainName: MYGROUP
sambaSID: S-1-2-3

- multiple Samba servers, each with the following configuration:

  security = user
  workgroup = MYGROUP

Is this a valid configuration? Or does the SMB protocol require the domain security to be used (security = domain) when all servers share a single LDAP backend?

Daniel
