Samba/LDAP/tdbsam question

[Nathan England]

I have a remote office with an extremely slow internet connection. In the past 
all machines authenticated to the domain through that network connection to 
the main office, which often caused timeouts or other network errors as all 
user files were on the server in the main office. 

I purchased a Dell server with RHEL4 and setup a basic samba domain and dhcp 
ip addressing. Now all users authenticate to that samba machine with a tdbsam 
database.

The network has now been upgraded, and I would like to connect that domain to 
our main office again. The main office uses a samba/ldap auth system. 
What is the best way to setup the remote office to authenticate to the main 
office? Can I setup a second ldap:// backend in samba and use both the main 
office ldap db and the tdbsam db? 

I don't want to have to change the domain accounts on all the machines, so I 
am hoping I can keep their current domains, but simply use the user 
information from the main office.

Easy / totally stupid / hard ?
Suggestions?

Nathan
