Hi folks, I recently got my ldap master slave samba test environment up and runing. samba-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 openldap-2.3.43-3.el5 The ldap systems sync fine, samba users are authenticated by each server seperatly if I set tham in the samba conf. E.g. passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap2.filmakademie.de" and passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap1.filmakademie.de" work. passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap1.filmakademie.de ldap://ldap2.filmakademie.de" works as long, as ldap1 is up. If ldap1 is down, no authentication / switchover to ldap2 is done. I've googled, looked up the samba wiki and finaly I found a posting Fedora 4 related to probems with an ldap_initialize() function ... So my question, are ther any known problems or what may I check/debug?
