I was wondering if it is possible to get Samba to act like two servers on
one box?
I need to upgrade our RH 7.2 PDC and would like to make some configuration
changes. To this end, I have build a solid migration plan, but it hinges
on if Samba can be used in a particular way, and I have not seen any
documentation either way, so I think I am searching for the wrong terms.
The Plan:
- Use a development box and have it start responding on two IP addresses
- Allow the dev-box to expose its shares on its traditional address
- Allow it to be a PDC on the NEW/SECONDARY address (different set of
shares)
I will also be migrating its database to LDAP while on the dev box so when
the original server is ready to take over as a PDC again, I just install
it; point at the LDAP for its user accounts; remove the PDC configuration;
make it boot on only one IP again; then replicate all the data.
The big question is, has anyone seen any howtos or documentation on setting
a samba server to act as two samba servers, one configured as a PDC and the
other configured with only public shares (restricted by IP not UID)
TIA
