I have a Samba PDC server running on Fedora Core. I also have 3 samba print servers and 1 samba file server setup on RedHat 9 machines. How do I make my RedHat file and print servers to get user information from the PDC so I don't have to set up users on every single server? I appreciate your help!

LDAP user database replication.

[Samba] transfering users from PDC to print/file server
You want to look into the winbind options. Winbind allows you to authenticate users against an external server (say, a Windows or Samba server). --Jon Johnson Sutinen Consulting, Inc. jon@sutinen.com (360) 270-9317 cell On Sat, 5 Jun 2004, abebe lsslp wrote:> I have a Samba PDC server running on Fedora Core.
