Hi, I use winbindd and to use it I write my Active Directory Domain Controller in the "password server" directive in smb.conf. Since I have not one but two servers (for failover situations), can I write another password server?

I did an apt-get install samba and windbind. I wrote my smb.conf [global] server string = Samba Proxy password server = myserver security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = true workgroup = mywork winbind separator =+ winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes

This is a restriction of the SMB/CIFS protocol when in security = server mode and cannot be fixed in Samba.
