[Samba] store profiles on a third server

January 23rd, 2011 - 12:10 pm ET by André Rodier | Report spam
hello all,

I am building a network system using Samba 3.5 on Debian Squeeze and
Windows 2003 workstations.

I have properly configured my samba PDC, and that's working correctly. I
am using an external LDAP to store the credentials.

I also wanted to use roaming profiles, and I have properly configured
this. That's working well for me, using Windows 2003 work stations.

I'll soon have both my PDC and my BDC. The profiles are actually stored
on the PDC server.

However, I'd like to store the profiles on a third server. I know this
is possible but I want to know were I can find a proper documentation or
tutorial to do this.

Here my questions to start

- I probably have to install samba on this third server, neither as PDC
or BDC, but Do I have to use special parameters ?

- Should I use again NSS and LDAP on this third server for the
authentication credentials database ?

I have had it this way for 5+ years at work. My PDC and BDCs exist as
openvz and lvm virtual machines that I can move to any server. Neither
of these contain any file shares.

I know this is
possible but I want to know were I can find a proper documentation or
tutorial to do this.
