samba - Oct 2003 - [URGENT! PLZ HELP!] Problems when moving a Samba installation from one Linux box to another

Hello all,

We just bought a new server to migrate our Samba installation, but we 
are facing some problems with it.

Both machines run Samba 2.2.7 configured as PDC for our domain.

When migrating, I copied /etc/samba/smb.conf and smbpasswd, and adjusted 
smb.conf to listen to the new server's IP address.

Now all users can log on to the domain and access the Samba shares, but 
no-one can access shares created from the workstations, either file ou 
print shares...

Running through all files, I realised that I recreated all user and 
computer accounts in /etc/passwd but the UserIDs obviously won't match 
the migrated "smbpasswd":  for instance, user "haydee" has
userid 514 in
/etc/passwd and userid 1007 in /etc/samba/smbpasswd.... 

I tried to change the UserID field in smbpasswd but to no avail.

Is there any simple hack to fix this or do I have to recreate all 
accounts, take off all machines from the domains and put them back again?

Please help! :-)

Thanks in advance,
Paulo.

You should have copied users and groups from old server's passwd,
group, gshadow and shadow files to new (just copy whole lines).

So please delete all your recreated users and do this.

P.S. Please do not use URGENT, it usually has opposite effect.
