[Samba] Samba domain an many sites

2005-06-06 Thread spiv007
Im going to install a samba domain at 4 of my sites but I trying to
take of the best way to do this.

going to have siteA, siteBm, siteC, and siteD.  There will be an ipsec
between all sites.  In the past if i had to do a setup like that would
to a box at each site and from there I would make rsync the samba
passwd file to all the sites to keep logins in sync.

Is there a better ways to to this?  Keep in mind if make a central db
lets say at siteA, I dont want to down if siteA loses its internet
connection.  I would want to be able it function fine if I move
internet at any of those locations.

Set up a master LDAP server at one site and slave LDAP servers at the others 
and use slurpd to distribute the data, then just point the samba server to the 
local ldap server.

The only tricky part I can think of is that you'll have to make sure all four 
sites use the same SID.
