[Samba] Rejoining domain after cluster failover

[Patrik Gustavsson]

My guess you have to upgrade to Samba 3 ?

I don't think you need, if you don't want to, use the LDAP backend for
 SIDs?

I have developed the Sun support agent for Samba on Sun Cluster (The
agent should work the same way). 
There is no problem with Samba 3 as ADS member when the you have failover
or a manully switch.
