samba - Jun 2004 - Log in one server, have shares in another ?

Hi,  

I have samba server (2.2.X, migrating to 3.0.4) that authenticates the
users and let them mount their "home" dir.

I'd like to change that in order to have one server doing the
authentication but the shares actually being accessed in a different
one.


user ----> samba server1/login
       --------------------> samba server2/mount

How can I do that ?  My ideai is to concentrate the passwords in samba
server (since it already have the users created) but let them mount
(without having to specifiy anything) the home located in a different
server without having to create again the same user/password in samba
server2

Once you go to samba 3 there is a parameter that allows you to specify 
the home dir location.  Use the pdbedit command to change the homedir 
parameter.

To use the same password data as the logon server, you can join your 
second workstation to the domain and use security=domain.  Make sure 
that your unix IDs are synced as well, either manually or by using a 
network directory like LDAP or NIS.
