I can't think of any case where each would need it's own set of tdb files. but each will need it's own smb.conf obviously. Winbind is the exception. You cannot currently run multiple instances of winbind without some severe trickery and path hacking in the source code I don't think. cheers, jerry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIVp6BIR7qMdg1EfYRAgjNAKCO5oyxG5E0c9ggTrNKe+i925my/gCg1oC4 gSl2ts9KlXI3kUYYGYzMBxo= =a+Q2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba |
