We just got to the point of trusting Samba enough to move 3.5 GB of NT user data to the Samba drive on an HP-UX system. I worked with our NT admin tonight to try to start the transfer. We have been unable to figure out how to move the files while retaining file ownership. We tried NT filemanager and xcopy. I saw Rumba, but it looks like it might take some work to compile on HP-UX. I didn't see anything in the past couple of months of archives I have, so has anyone solved this problem? As a bonus, is there a way to retain the Unix equivalent of the NT file permissions on a per-file basis instead of using the same mask for all files?
