Hi,

I would like to run samba on the same machine for multiple domains with 
separeted data files. After reading the man pages i found out that 
location of secrets.tdb and smbpasswd can only be changed at compile 
time, or neither that. If this isn't correct please inform me.

I also found out that the location of the following files should be 
configured: secrets.tdb, smbpasswd, lmhosts, smb.conf. If something is 
missing please also inform me.

 From these i figgured out that the next things should be done (i'm 
planning to do them):
    - adding a command line switch to programs that uses secrets.tdb to 
configure the location of the file.
    - the same as above for smbpasswd.

If anything else should be done to get two separated smbd and nmbd 
working on the same machine, from the same binaries please replay to 
this email. After the work is complete, patch will be sent to the 
location described in samba's source.

Regards,
Attila ZIMLER
