I dowloaded from samba.org samba-3.0alpha24..
I refered http://samba.org/~jht/NT4migration/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
chapter 31
it also mentioned in the how chapter 31 that it is a rough explanation
but i decided to follow this and started doing things as i explaned below
i looked google and samba mailing lists i did'nt see anything related to
my problem anywhere
Trying to Migrate from NT4 to Samba but i am unsuccessful in doing that
Either no where it is mentioned what smb.conf parameters to be set..
I started doing this by refering to the above chapter 31
1)Created the BDC account in NT using Server Manager
According to Howto i have not started Samba
2)
#rpcclient NT4PDC -U Administrator%password
rpcclient>lsaquery
domain WORKGROUP has sid S-1-5-21-2005620710-1318861517-1539857752
rpcclient>
3)
#net getsid -S NT4PDC -w WORKGROUP -U Administrator%password
i get the error getsid not found???
but i contnued to next step
4)
#net getlocalsid
[2003/06/05 13:48:08, 0] utils/net.c:net_getlocalsid(388)
Can't fetch domain SID for name: PRUTHVI
i contnued :-( ...by setting local SID to above SID i got using
#net setlocalsid S-1-5-21-2005620710-1318861517-1539857752
5)
#net rpc join -S NT4PDC -w WORKGROUP -U Administrator%password
Joined domain ITERNAL.
In the howto chapter 31 it is not mentioned whether we have to start
winbindd?? or not???
Anyway i decided to start winbindd
#/etc/init.d/winbind start
Starting Winbind services: [OK]
and contnued..
#wbinfo -t
checking the trust secret via RPC calls succeeded
6)
#net rpc vampire -S NT4PDC -UAdministrator%password
it printed lot of output on the screen
In that it says it has created users groups of NT
7)
#pdbedit -L
idmap uid range defined, non unix accounts enabled
idmap uid range defined, non unix accounts enabled

According to howto now users are migrated
i have not started samba Yet...
i belive at this point users are not migrated
i don;t want to continue further according to howto.. till i am clear up
until now everything is fine.
