[Samba] Samba-3 PDC: Home directories in other machine

[Juan José Vidal]

I've  this configuration:


   LDAP#1     LDAP#2
     |		|
     ---ALTEON---
	   |
	   |	     <<< NFS
      SAMBA-3 PDC <------------------- NAS/SAN
     |     |     |
     |     |     |
   CLI1   CLI2  CLIn


· Samba-3 PDC use nsswitch to authenticante LDAP.
· NAS/SAN use its own /etc/passwd


Thanks
