There were some ideas to sort of hack it to work IIRC but AFAIK there is no support for BDC functionality in samba. -- | Keith Warno keith.warno@valaran.com | Sys Admin, Valaran Corp direct: +1 609-945-7243 | http://www.valaran.com/ mobile: +1 609-209-5800 +---------------------------------------------------

Both Samba PDC & BDC are configured as as PDC with "security = user". The difference is that the BDC has "domain master= no". Then synchronize the UNIX uids, smbpasswd, [netlogon], & secrets.tdb files. PS: use rsync over ssh for the file sync. chau, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- www.samba.org SAMBA Team jerry_at_samba.org www.plainjoe.org jerry_at_plainjoe.org http://www.hp.com Hewlett-Packard gerald_carter_at_hp.com --"I never saved anything for the swim back."
