Accually, you only need one set of samba binaries.

You then uses
./smbd -n -s /usr/local/samba/lib/smb1.conf
./smbd -n -s /usr/local/samba/lib/smb2.conf
and start them with one conf-file each.
(-n to have a nmbd sevice started so that theserver announces itself on the
net)

You still nead to make the configs like this!

I use this to have a HACMP configuration of my samba servers in a AIX
cluster.
I have the config files on a shared area and if one of the samba-servers
dies for any reason, the other server just starts a new smbd and nmbd
process for that instance.
With this config I also have a HACP controlled PDC ;) (Hey, who needs a
BDC??)
