[Samba] Synchronize samba across servers

[Mitch Pope]

Hi Nick,

You can use NIS (Network Information Services) formally YP (Yellow Pages) 
to synchronize user account information between multiple servers.  Many 
howto's are around for using NIS + Samba, recommend searching google.

Kind Regards,
Mitch Pope
