how does the ldap configuration look like in your smb.conf file?

generally, smb.conf for PDC and BDC should be the same (with the
differences like server name, and domain master = yes/no).

hmm I don't remember exactly, as I can't check it now - but it should
indicate that "host HOSTNAME is a domain master for ..."? perhaps it
looks a little different.

why not?
you have a slave LDAP, right? you should pull this data from the
localhost (127.0.0.1).
It's the sense of having a slave.


How does smbldap.conf look for a slave and master LDAP?
It should point to 127.0.0.1 on a master for both, and to some other IP
on a slave in a "masterLDAP" part (see below).


# Ex: slaveLDAP=127.0.0.1
slaveLDAP="127.0.0.1"
slavePort="389"

# Master LDAP : needed for write operations
# Ex: masterLDAP=127.0.0.1
masterLDAP="192.168.5.6"
masterPort="389"

adding a user should work both from a slave and a master.
getent passwd should show all users on a slave, even just right after
adding another user on a slave.

It can contain some data (especially wins.dat, which you might also
delete), like pointing to non-exeisting servers if you experimented with
your Samba too much...


Does "net getlocalsid" give the same result on PDC and BDC? It should.
