[Samba] Anything like nss_updatedb for ldapsam account information backend?

2012-02-28 Thread Jack Bates
Is there anything like nss_updatedb [1] for ldapsam account 
information backend?


nss_updatedb caches unix account information, so it is available even 
when the LDAP directory isn't available


But ldapsam stores additional account information. How can I cache this 
additional account information, so it is also available even when the 
LDAP directory isn't available?

I don't believe this is possible; and a DC always requires write access
to the backend, so it probably just isn't feasible.  You can configure a
local slapd an use OpenLDAP's very fine replication technology to just
have a DSA on every DC;  which is pretty much what multiple PDC/BDCs
would have accomplished in a pure Microsoft solution.
