[Samba] Sysvol replication with Unison for more than 2 server.

[Min Wai Chan]

Dear James,

I think we need to understand more about your setup...
1. Sysvol shouldn't be the holder for your home directory or My Documents.
- It should be the files for Domain Control and all the Group Policy Object
(GPO)

2. Sysvol should only hold GPO stuff and not other...
