Ok, I know that it's not the recomended configuration, and I know I'll burn in hell for doing it :wink: , but I want a samba BDC (using another samba as PDC) without LDAP. Acording to the samba, howto it can be done, and it clearly states how to do it, but I'm starting to thing that noone has bothered to check it.
So, my first question is... has someone seen such a configuration working? Can it really work? :?:
And if you think it should work, does anybody know what could I have done incorrectly? :cry:

I set up the BDC with the following configuration:

Code:

[global]
     workgroup = SAMBA
     domain master = no
     domain logons = yes
     encrypt passwords = yes
     security = user
     os level = 64

[netlogon]
    path = /home/netlogon
    read only = yes


Of course, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, and smbpasswd are identical to the files in the PDC (thanks to rsync+ssh).

Does anybody see something weird? When the PDC is working everything is okay, and you can access the shares in the BDC without problems. However, if I stop samba in the PDC, the Windows clients can't login.
