[Samba] Samba authentication

[Robert Rati]

I have two separate subnets, two servers, and one domain.  I want to 
serve half of my users from server A and half from server B, but all 
users would be able to log onto both subnets.  The reason I want to 
separate them like this is so that the home directories and profiles 
will be split between the servers.  Is it possible to serve the profiles 
and home dirs from a samba server the user doesn't authenticate with?

In other words, what I'd like is for a user on server A (controlling 
subnet A) to be able to log into a PC on subnet A and B and have his 
home dir and profile servered from server A.  At the same time, I'd like 
different users to have the same ability using server B.

Normally you would only have server B auth from server A and then B. And server A auth from server A then B. Are you sure you don't want to replicate servers A & B's databases?
