Hi Dear Samba Gurus, We're planing to migrate the old samba server to a new samba server. But the person who maintain old samba server have left, so we need to figure out the configuration steps from the old config file. Now the things that confused me now is the setting with "security=domain", the old samba server config global sections are: log level = 3 netbios name = myserver server string = Samba %v on (%L) encrypt passwords = yes security = domain workgroup = workgroup1 browsable = yes unix password sync = yes wins server = x.x.x.x guest ok = no And in old environmnet, only nmbd and smbd is started, winbindd is not started. According to the config, this samba server should not be domain member, and should participate in local master election, and become local master because there're the only samba server in the subnet. am I correct here? But what I wondered here is: by default ntauth should be yes, and how user are authenticated by their username/password? now the default password backend is smbpassword. When I try to setup a a new samba server in a new workgroup with above config, it always report authentication error as below: smbclient //myserver/homes -U test session setup failed: NT_STATUS_CANOT_ACCESS_DOMAIN_INFO in smbd.log it tells: [2006/01/10 18:37:17, 0] auth/auth_domain.c:check_ntdomain_security(284) check_ntdomain_security: could not fetch trust account password for domain 'GR OUP188' [2006/01/10 18:37:17, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(312) It seems that user authentication still go throught NT domain authentication? What mechanism I can use to determine what authentication method was used in the old samba server? When I try to migrate the old samba server to a new samba server, since there will be two samba server in the same workgroup, Whether It will interrupt user's work during migration? When Should I take cautions in order not to interrupt user's work? Best Regards!
