i have spent the last three days setting up a samba PDC with openldap, i finally seem to have gotten this working, but require some info on setting up additional servers this is the layout i am after. samba PDC / directory server all user accounts here maybe some shared areas secondary file server student home directorys and profiles for windows and linux third file server teachers home directories and profiles for linux and windows i will either use the third server for printing or set it up on another machine. what i would like info about is how to integrate the other servers into the samba PDC like info on how to configure samba on these machines. if some one can point me in the right direction, most of the info i have found seems to be aimed at a single server.

Hi Ict You can setup file servers as domain member servers to samba pdc. and configure nss_ldap on the file server so that it can get users and groups from samba pdc. The example configuration is given in the samba documention of samba3-By example in 2000 users documentation.
