AW: [Samba] Multi-homed Samba PDC problem

[Arno Seidel]

Hi Mike,

hope i understand everything right,

> Question: What type of problem is this?  and how serious?
It is a windows network problem and or a collision between two PDC´s.


> Question: Ok, how do I correct it?
There are some possible solutions for your problem:

a:

If there is allready a PDC (W2K/NT) then change on
the samba PDC the domain, and create on both sides an
interdomaintrust relationship

b:
Change the Samba config, that it is a Domainmember-Server.
