[Samba] PDC and BDC with LDAP and Samba 2.2.4

[Yannick Tousignant]

In this link :

http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/Samba-BDC-HOWTO.html

It seems possible to act like BDC as long as the PDC is a samba machine.
I did everyting there, and both servers have the same secrets.tdb file.

thanks for helping me!

Yannick
