2 servers and routers between them..

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

hi nuno,

there are a couple of ways to do this (one in the future, with
inter-domain trust relationships worked out).

which leaves this as an ordinary administration exercise to get round the
lack of thingy.  domain trust relationships.

ok, your network is subdivided, yes?  you can either use a %substitution
macro which subdivides by netgroup (@lab1_pcs or @lab2_pcs) or by network
address.

then, you can do [global] include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%X where
%X is the macro substitution for the netgroup or the network address.

then, you create /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.lab1 or .lab2 or
.194.159.24. or .194.159.25. - whatever.

smb.conf.lab1 contains:

home dir = \\linux1\homes
logon path = \\linux1\profiles\%U

etc... you get the idea.
