You will need to down the LDAP system, to switch around the LDAP replication. This also can be done independently from 'domain master' parameters, but I would switch both at the same time. Actually, the LDAP situation is completely independant of samba here. We have a working setup for LDAP that I'm not screwing with at all. So by the looks of things here, the only important thing is the Domain Master = Yes/No parameter? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
