[Samba] Help using multiple file servers

Hi,

the best way, I think, is to use LDAP for authenticating. So you've one 
server, which does all the stuff for you.

The other way is to write a little and simple script, which "keeps the 
passwordfiles in sync":

#!/bin/sh
# 08-30-2000
# Synchronize the user accounts every night

scp /etc/passwd 192.168.10.2:/etc/passwd
scp /etc/shadow 192.168.10.2:/etc/shadow
scp /etc/group 192.168.10.2:/etc/group
scp /etc/gshadow 192.168.10.2:/etc/gshadow
scp /etc/samba/smbpasswd 192.168.10.2:/etc/samba/smbpasswd

cp -v /etc/passwd /data/backup/user/
cp -v /etc/shadow /data/backup/user/
cp -v /etc/group /data/backup/user/
cp -v /etc/gshadow /data/backup/user/
cp -v /etc/samba/smbpasswd /data/backup/user/

# END

I installed an ssh-key, so a cronjob can do the job for me...
Makes no sense but it's nice...

:-)
