Samba - on one server, [Home Directories] on another


I want to setup samba on one sever, but i want to make [home directories] on another

1)what i have to write to my samba config?
2)What the best rules for users i should use?
3)Do i have to have the same group (user1:user user2:user) for all samba users or i can have (user1:user1 user2:user2) /etc/passwd?
4) What about LDAP? can it situated on the different servers with Samba?

Hi linderox,

concerning your 1st question, to be able to use directories from different server you have to mount those directories on your server first, for example as NFS shares.

Concerning your 3rd question, you can use user1:user1 and user2:user2 model, but don't forget to add them to your smbpassword file!

Best Regards,

simplyA
