[Samba] Winbind UID assignments - keeping a backup
We use samba 2.2.5 in security=domain with winbind running. NT users who don't have corresponding UNIX accounts are assigned a UID "on the fly" based on the range specified in the smb.conf file. Are there any recommendations for keeping that file backed up or synced up with another system's samba files? We have a cluster where either of two machine could serve our critical files in the event one went down. I would like to keep this critical UID assignments file synced up (should I just use rsync?). Since it's a .tdb file, not just a text file, I wasn't sure if any host-specific stuff was written there that might become a problem if I use a copy of the file on a different samba server. Curious, Karen Wieprecht
