[Samba] Implementing samba3/LDAP system across several schools

[rruegner]

Hi,
yes its no problem, you need slave ldaps and samba bdcs in the other 
locations, read the samba how to,
the other way is to have a own domain at each location with own pdc
and make trusts
What you mean with duplicate usernames?
Regards
