[Samba] Re: Samba PDCs/BDCs and Trusts WAS: auth to two diff PDCs? (succe ss, sort of)

[Simo Sorce]

There's another poor man way.
Use the classic smbpasswd file and use rsync to sync the file
periodically with a cron (of course you'll miss the ability to have
things promptly synced but generally this is a good enough solution for
many environments).

Simo.
