because you can only have one PDC. BDCs will authenticate connections against LDAP on the PDC, but you can have the BDCs use a replicated copy of LDAP on the BDC to authenticate with if you have slow WAN links, etc.

the difference in smb.con is that the BDC's will have domain master = no, and wins server = ip of PDC and wins support = no, and if on a different subnet, local master = yes, if on same subnet, local master = no

Thanks, now it's crystal clear.
One thing I like to ask more is why other servers will be BDC?
Not just a workstation or a DC client? Where do they backup or cache account info?
Will smb.conf look different from using NT4 PDC?
Thanks,
Soohoon.
