Yeah, I have that in my conf. Actually, I got it working earlier, but I
had to tell samba to use my master LDAP server to do it - I was hoping I
could make samba read off of the local slave server so if the connection
to the master was severed, domain logins would still be functional. I'll
tool around with it some more tomorrow and see if I can make it work the
way I intend.
