how to sync samba password
 
I just installed samba to two servers. One is the primary and the other one acting as backup.

My passdb backend is tdbsam. So I have passdb.tdb and
secrets.tdb. I tried to cp and overwrite the pssdb.tdb and secrects.tdb on the backup server. However, when I restart smb, it seems that it was not working anymore with the ff relevant error:

Code:
Sep 12 12:45:00 test_server smbd[23918]: [2011/09/12 12:45:00, 0] lib/util_tdb.c:tdb_log(664)
Sep 12 12:45:00 test_server smbd[23918]:  tdb(/etc/samba/secrets.tdb): tdb_reopen: file dev/inode has changed!
Sep 12 12:45:00 test_server smbd[23918]: [2011/09/12 12:45:00, 0] smbd/server.c:open_sockets_smbd(586)
Sep 12 12:45:00 test_server smbd[23918]:  tdb_reopen_all failed.
there are lots of errors such as PANIC and SIGTERM regarding nmbd but I think the culprit was when I rsync the passd.tdb and secrets.tdb on the backup server.

Is there a better way to sync passwd of samba to my backup server?

Hi there,

The errors that you have pasted here are from the backup server. Right? How did you copy to backup server using rsync?

I would say better way is to use LDAP for samba users as that will rule out the sync issue.
