[Samba] Can samba refres the connection to the PDC?
Hi again =) If I have got this right? When a samba is in a domain security mode and loses the connection to the PDC example NT4, it drops from security = domain to security = server mode. Is this information correct? And if this is true is there any way to get it automaticaly get back to domain mode when the PDC get back on line. And if this isn't true why does it disallow to change the permissions on folders after a connection loss? Thanks in advance. Mikko

Is this information correct?No, this is incorrect. Samba's authentication code makes a new connection to the DC every time a user authenticates. In Samba 3.0, we have a connection caching system with winbind, but this also automatically reconnects if/when we loose connectivity.> And if this is true is there any way to get it automaticaly get back to > domain mode when the PDC get back on line.

Samba versions, windows versions etc. Are you using winbind?
