samba - Nov 2001 - Migration from Samba-TNG-alpha 2.6.1 to Samba-2.2.x

Hello,

first of all, this is a message corresponding to a thread named similar in
tng-users mailinglist (tng-users@samba-tng.org).
I am successfully running a samba-tng server at work for quite a year now
but now I want to get to the "official" version (2.2.x) again for
increased
stability, namely in file locking issues. The samba-tng server is holding about
35 users along with their samba passwords and profiles now (Win2k mainly,
some 9x/ME), so I don't want to lose the passwords and profiles during
migration, if possible.
So I know where the domain SID is stored in tng and from what algorithm the
user RIDs are created (and that they are stored nowhere).
Now my important question:

Could you please if it is possible to migrate the SID and RIDs into an
Samba-2.2.x server? Maybe there is an identical file holding the SID or the
algorithm for the RID is the same?

Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated,

Thanks in advance

Should work the same (assuming you are using smbpasswd).
