Hi list is there any way to specify on wich server a user's home is ? Let me explain myself... I have a Samba3 PDC here at the head office using LDAP as an authentication backend. We have offices in other cities and we would like them to be on the same domain. All those offices are linked using VPNs. I have no problem to configure LDAP and Samba to work together. The problem is that i want all those offices to be completely independant in case the VPN link goes down. For that, i need to split all my user's home between the BDCs and the PDC (depending in wich office the user is working), if want the users to still have an access to their home and profiles. I have an LDAP master here and a LDAP slave in each office. How can i tell samba that depending on the user, its home is on a different server ? Can i use LDAP for that ? If it's possible, how can i do that ? Should i use an other solution ? Trusted domain instead ? Thanks Olivier Houde
