Re: Issues with LDAP Replication

[Steven Bambling <steven.bambling@sunrocket.com>]

Yes I understand the concept of replication.  My understanding is the  
updateref line should point the client to make changes on the master  
server.  The original post that was denied told of the setup in  
further detail.  When changing the password via smbpasswd it doesn't  
seem to refer samba to make changes to the master server.

Thanks,
STEVE
