sure you can have multiple domains with all the account info in LDAP. if you really want it to work together well you'll have a PDC and BDC's though. you may be able to try samba intertrust relationships, but i've never used that

Thanks all
This is my smb.conf

        dos charset = UTF-8
        workgroup = DOMSMB
        security = user
        allow trusted domains = No
        password server = NULL
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://10.17.124.190/ <http://10.17.124.190/>
        max log size = 50
        load printers = No
        stat cache = No
        os level = 10
        dns proxy = No
        ldap suffix = dc=my-domain,dc=com
        ldap user suffix = ou=Users
        ldap group suffix = ou=Groups
        ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com
        ldap ssl = no

And I like to make multiple samba servers to share single LDAP server without using domain controller feature. I'm getting feeling that pure LDAP server is for single samba server or the LDAP server should have samba DC to serve multiple samba servers? Thanks,
Soohoon.

                Hi
                Is it possible to use single LDAP server and multiple
                samba servers?
                The problem I'm having now is
                Each server thinks their host name is their LDAP
                domain name, or
                sambaDomainName, and
                complain the user's SID is different so can't
                authenticate.
                How do I make samba servers use one domain name and SID?

                LDAP domain name is DOMSMB

                dn: sambaDomainName=DOMSMB,dc=my-domain,dc=com
                sambaSID: S-1-5-21-2479917030-3150298425-213194246

                And samba server created a new domain after its hostname.

                dn: sambaDomainName=SRV6,dc=my-domain,dc=com
                sambaSID: S-1-5-21-4202146032-850913369-3381557932
                And complain user's SID is different from its SID.

                Thanks,
                Soohoon.


        We have student domain and staff domain and one LDAP server.
        We wanted staff members to log onto student domain. So we
        considered two options:
        1. Interdomain trust relationship
        
(http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/InterdomainTrusts.html)

        However this option was not good for us as we didn't want to
        open up the firewall and we wanted staff members to get the
        proper student experience (i.e. home dirs and profiles on the
        student server). So that brought us to the second option:
        2. ldap translucent proxy overlay
        (http://linux.die.net/man/5/slapo-translucent)
        In this setting we override sids (i.e. domain sid part of the
        staff domain is substituted with student domain portion of the
        sid) for users and groups and point samba to the overlay. Bear
        in mind that all of the changes make by samba like machine
        passwords, user passwords, idmap mappings etc will go no
        further than the proxy so great care must be taken in LDAP
        setups that use referrals.


        Now the most important question is what do you use you two
        domains for?

    Ah sorry I didn't read the Subject line properly you do not want
    PDC. As Andy pointed out maybe you should have one of the servers
    as a domain member of the other domain
