Hey guys, I'm having a problem getting LDAP/Samba to failover, or at least how I think it should. I have two servers with passwd backend = ldapsam://"ldaps://ldap.server1 ldaps://ldap.server2". Works great as long as I can ping both servers. Say I take down ldap on server1, and also take down the ethernet device so it cannot communicate with the other server, so it should then samba should look at server2. It does but it takes 6 seconds for it to switch. To me that seems dumb. All communication is then delayed by six seconds which isn't much of an option. I'm tempted to write a perl script that will modify the passwd backend line in samba and just replace it with the server that is can find. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how did you resolve it? Thanks for your help. Jason
