samba - Oct 2003 - Migrating from NT4 auth with winbind to ADS style auth

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Is there anything special that has to be done to migrate this config?

Right now we're using Samba 3.0 with the old NT4 authentication through
winbind, the same method that samba 2.2.8 used.

If we want to recompile samba and upgrade to the new ADS support, will
winbind correctly continue to use the same Windows Username to Linux UID
mapping so that ACLs don't have to be redone?

Thank you.

Yes.  Just make sure you have a backup of winbindd_idmap.tdb.
