Two samba servers, A and B, that control users that log on to the PCs on the domain. Each server has half of the users on it along with their roaming profile and home directory. If a user whose account information is located on server A logs into a machine in subnet A (which is controlled by server A), then server A authenticates the user and serves up his profile and home directory to be mapped. If the user logs into subnet B (controlled by server B), then server B uses server A for authentication and the users profile and home directory are served from server A. Same thing for a user on server B.
I thought this could be accomplished by setting "security = server" and setting server A as a "password server" in server B's configuration file (and vice versa for server A), but that doesn't seem to work. In fact, I can't get server B to use server A to authenticate even if server A is using "security = user" and server B is using "security = server".
I can see how this could be done with multiple NFS mounts on servers (each mouthing the other's user's directories), but that seems really messy and I don't think it would allow for the users to easily maintain their passwords (they'd have to change their password on each server as all users would have to exist on each server).
Is what I'm trying to do possible? Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
