Hello, i'm setting up a Samba based fileserver and started using system-config-cluster. The initial setup goes fine and all is working as expected. But when i played around with a Samba service i noticed that the smb.conf file is deleted and regenerated every time i remove and define a new Samba service. Also the behaviour of how the smb.conf file is written (interfaces, filesystems) depends on how the additional resources ip address and file system is added to the service. Is there a description of system-config-cluster and its behaviour besides the RH documentation? As the scc capabilities are very limited, at least in the version Ubuntu 8.04 ships (1.0.46), and Conga is not available nor an option, what is the preferred way of managing the cluster config? Is it recommended to manually edit cluster.conf and then propagate the changes using ccs_tool? Is there a possibility to verify the cluster.conf file if it contains errors or should this be done using a validating XML parser? Is a XML schema or DTD available for the various cluster.conf versions and how can i determine which version of the cluster.conf schema is appropriate for which version of e.g. cman?
