I am setting up a linux samba PDC for a user community of
approximately 700 users. I want to utilize several other linux
servers to spread out the home directories of the users. How do I
configure my PDC to direct users to the proper server to log into
their particular home directory, and then "net use" that home
directory and map it to a certain drive on their XP laptops. Will I
have to run Samba on every linux box that serves the home
directories...and what are the particular smb.conf parameters
necessary on the PDC to accomplish this feat????
