Two samba servers, same machine?

[eskimo]

the following options helped me:
  lock directory = 
  socket address = 
  bind interfaces only =
  interfaces =
  hosts allow =

i split my configuration files up and used the "include = " quite a bit.

Ok. This works, but having two different installation Paths isn't
necessary. You only need two different config files. Telling smbd and nmbd
which to use at startup:

/usr/sbin/nmbd -s /etc/smb1.conf
/usr/sbin/nmbd -s /etc/smb2.conf

/usr/sbin/smbd -s /etc/smb1.conf
/usr/sbin/smbd -s /etc/smb2.conf

If the second nmbd or smbd doesnt start have a look at '/var/lock/samba'.
Maybe you'll find something like
nmbd.pid there. Copy it to nmbd1.pid, then start the second nmbd. Same
applies for smbd.

It's a bit a pitty: there is no configuration option to put these file
somewhere else then '/var/lock/samba' thus you have to do it your own.

Setting the debug level to 3 helps finding any errors. But I don't
recomend leaving it there --- the log gets realy huge.
