Additional Info...
I am beginning to think that a file called 'secrets.tdb' might be what
I
am looking for. Inside that file is something mentioning SID. Of course,
it also mentions the name of the PDC.
If that is the file I am supposed to copy over. Then it is done.
However, I still need a little more input for setting up a Samba BDC.
With a Samba BDC, should I leave the server Netbios the same as the PDC
or change that to the name of the BDC? If the latter is the case, do I
then need to change the server name in the 'secrets.tdb' file to match
the server name in the smb.conf file?
Everything else in the BDC directions makes perfect sense and is
currently done. I just need answers to these final questions before
bringing the Samba service up live on that server.

Subject: [Samba] Locating the MACHINE.SID file...
Hello,
I am setting up our backup Linux server to act a BDC to our Linux PDC.
In the directions that are available within the Swat Online Help... There
is a section that states that the private/MACHINE.SID file must be copied
over exactly as is to the Samba BDC in order for that machine to act as a
Samba BDC to a Samba PDC.
For the life of me, I have been unable to locate that file. I have
updated by locatedb and have searched for it using a variety of strings
and options...
Does anyone know where that file is?
Regards,

I may have spoken to soon...
I found a section that states to run the following on the BDC...
'net rpc getsid'
I ran that command and nothing happened. I searched the system for a
'net' command and was unable to locate anything as well. I checked a few
other things, seeing if it might be a part of smbclient or smbd, but I
haven't found anything declaring such an option.
Is this a separate program that is related to rpc or is it something
that should have been installed alongside Samba?
Thanks for the assistance!
