Hi! Due to performance problems (old donated hardware) I would like to move [profiles] service from our Samba 2.2.8a PDC to a seperate samba server. 1) Is this at all possible and 1b) how do I make this profile server know all necessary user data and file permissions? - Does it simply have to become a domain member server? Or do I have to transfer the UNIX accounts, too? or 2) are there better alternatives? Thanks for all ideas or hints. Please tell me if you need more information. Regards, Uli. +-------------------------+ | Peter Ulrich Kruppa | | - Wuppertal - | | Germany | +-------------------------+

Then mount this share at the old server and move the profiles with all permissions to the new server. Now umount and configure "profile path" in the smb.conf. For an easy sharing of Unix-Accounts use LDAP. There's a great article in the present german iX-magazine (March 04). matze
