[Samba] File server migration ( win2k to samba on redhat 7.2 )
Hello People, We are in the process of migrating our file server from a win2k box to a red hat box running samba 2.2.3a. We have winbind running on the redhat box and it has joined the windows domain and "genent" shows all the domain users.We know have to move the files from the win2k box to linux box and maintain the file ownership info. It would be great if anyone can point me to resources that might help us . sincerely ANIL

This will preserve the ownership stuff (I hope), givin a suitable filesystem. (You need a patched kernel of one kind or another). I think there were some bugs in Samba in this area, you may wish to use current 2.2 CVS if issues arise.
