samba - Oct 2003 - Upgrading to Samba 3

Hello

We would like to upgrade our Samba 2.2.7 software on Solaris 8 (Sparc)
to version 3. We are currently using the server as a member server in a
NT4 domain and are using winbindd and have not setup any user/group
mappings ourselves as security is set to DOMAIN and we are using our PDC
to provide authentication.

We have a basic setup (as below). Can we upgrade to V3 and keep the same
settings (smb.conf) and not have to add users to smbpasswd?

Thanks in advance

Yes. By default samba-3.0.x should work as close as possible to
samba-2.2.x default settings. Your old smb.conf should work just fine.
