You can get it to act as a logon server if the PDC is down, see the html docs
in the source. Definitely in 2.2.3 - not sure about earlier.

I'm trying to replace an existing NT4.0 domain controller with the latest version of samba. My concern is that I would have to re-create all the users on the samba machine, change the domain name (From NT-Domain to SAMBA-Domain) on each Windows 2000 workstation, and re-configure every users email, settings etc....(We have about 500 users with only 2 Admins.) Is there a way to add a SAMBA BDC to an existing NT Domain, have all user names / passwords transferred to the SAMBA BDC, and then promote the Samba BDC to a PDC, throw away the NT PDC, and standardize on SAMBA Domain Controllers?

Did the samba mailing list go down yesterday between 10am - 5pm eastern? Anyway, plz forgive me for the 3 messages I sent at once.... I think I'll have to re-create these accounts in SAMBA. Screw it!!! I may just learn a thing or too! Thanks for the reply!

You can dump the user/passwords with pwdump and you can extract the group memberships with rpcclient, at least we did. You can fetch the Domain SID and give it to the samba PDC. But you will run into trouble with the user RID migration, because Samba calculates the RID out of the Linux UID. So there is no clean way to get the same user SID from Samba as the user had before on the NT PDC. And not to mention the trust account passwords...mymy. I have heard the only reasonable painless way for a migration is Samba with the LDAP backend, so that you are able to massage the RIDs and trust account passwords into the directory. But a really transparent NT-Samba migration is another story. Goetz
I'm sorry, I forgot to ask,>you are talking about a very sensitive topic...take a look at the postings >between T.Allen and A.Bartlett (around 02/07/20).I can't find anything relating to my question. Do you have at least the subject of the thread? Is there a way to search these archives? I'm going to http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/ but don't see any option of searching through these archives. I know I'm overlooking something. Anyway any suggestions much appreciated.
