i have two domain controllers, both have openldap, server1 can write to the ldap database and pushes that to server2 which can only read. In the smbldap.conf file it reads... # Notes: to use to dual ldap servers backend for Samba, you must patch # Samba with the dual-head patch from IDEALX. If not using this patch # just use the same server for slaveLDAP and masterLDAP. # Those two servers declarations can also be used when you have # . one master LDAP server where all writing operations must be done # . one slave LDAP server where all reading operations must be done # (typically a replication directory) # Ex: slaveLDAP=127.0.0.1 slaveLDAP="127.0.0.1" slavePort="389" # Master LDAP : needed for write operations # Ex: masterLDAP=127.0.0.1 masterLDAP="172.16.0.1" masterPort="389" So my question is, in the newest versions of samba has this patch that they talk about already been added? or not? I cant find this dual head patch anywhere on idealx's site either. -- Matt Pruett <entelin@logicaldreams.net>
