Hi!

I guess the problem is with the Samba configuration (and "database") files: The LSB scripts use the usual paths. You could use symlinks to redirect those files, but that's not nice to manage. You could write a modified LSB script, or you could use CTDB. I preferred that last solution. Did I miss something important?
