I have upgraded from samba v2.2.8a to samba 3.0.14a and put the secrets.tdb file back in the /etc/samba directory. For some reason it seems like the old profile information isn't be located. The hostname and the domain name haven't changed. Is it advisable to copy the old secrets.tdb file back again to the new /etc/samba directory to see if it works? Or is there anyways to sync the old profiles with the new ones?

A cult-of-the-dead-tree (hard copy printed) version may be purchased from Amazon.Com. A PDF of the book is available from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf The chapter I referred you to above documents the migration/update/upgrade process. If your question is not adequately answered in chapter 8 please let me know so I can fix the documentation. - John T.
