SOLVED! [Samba] PDC and BDC with LDAP and Samba 2.2.4

[Yannick Tousignant]

No it didn't work simply by copying the secrets.tdb file
because this file contain also the name of the current
server (that shouldn't be the same on the bdc).

And yes, both servers are running on the same subnet
and the bdc takes over immediatly if i unplug the network
cable of the pdc...
