samba - Oct 2007 - Running multiple instances of Samba and LDAP question

Dear All,

I work for the small IT company and I would like to ask  the question concerning
the project that I work on-Namely is it posible to run multiple instances of
Samba and LDAP paralely on the one server --For example one cental server for
Samba and LDAP and one instance running for each separate client -and if it
possible the suggestion how to best accomplish that ...
I thank you in advance for your time and effort ..

The only way to accomplish that is a nightmare of hackery.  Multiple
instances of CIFS don't work very well.

Create multiple virtual servers with vmware-server.

I run a few of these (not one per client though) on a single machine
with virtual servers.  This is very light weight virtulization in
which you run only 1 kernel and it basically is multiple chroot jails
with their own startup and ip addresses.

Another choice is openvz. Both require the system to boot under a
patched kernel.
