samba - Mar 2003 - Re-Using Machine Names on Samba Domain

Hello, All!

I am a system administrator at a small company using Samba 2.2.7a as a 
PDC on Red Hat Linux 7.3. Everything has been going fantastic, but now I 
have to rebuild the secretary's Windows 2000 system and re-join the 
domain with the rebuilt system using the same machine name as before.

What all do I have to do with Samba to get this to work? None of the 
books I have, or the online docs I've read, or the Google searches I've 
done have turned up anything.

Thanks,

John E. Mayorga

When I've done this all I ever had to do was make sure to remove the
workstation's machine account from Samba (the smbpasswd account, the
system account in /etc/passwd doesn't matter) before rejoining it.
