Basically, it seems like you can set up a backup domain controller using samba, but can't set up replication between a Windows PDC and a samba BDC. So I'm not sure what if would be gaining anything unless you replaced the PDC with linux too (in a linux/linux configuration you can replicate the smbpasswd file). I found this URL to be very useful: http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/Samba-BDC-HOWTO.html which I got from a good samba PDC overview: http://networking.earthweb.com/netos/article.php/1144701 Good luck, David -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
