[Samba] Redundancy in samba

[Derek Harkness]

I'm in the process of setting up a similar environment, I'm just 
working at it from the other side.  I've got the Samba environment and 
I'm adding the kerberos/afs to it.  Be sure to compile with the 
--with-afs option.

Samba hand crafts AFS tokens on the users behalf, this means 
maintaining two passwords a samba password and a kerberos password.  
I'm setting up a synchronization process.  Your samba servers will also 
need access to you AFS server key, use the net command to store the key 
in the secrets.tdb.

In my environment I was going to have two or more samba servers 
offering access to the same AFS space, and setup the logon script to 
automatically determine which one to map to.  If a samba server goes 
down then the user will need to logout and back logon or rerun the 
logon script.
