Hello, Either my previous message went unnoticed, or nobody knows? Since I didn't find anything through Google, I will try again here: I need to rename a few users: change their login, but leave everything else as is, like their password, etc. On the Linux side usermod seems to have done what I wanted: usermod -l $newname -c $newfullname -d /home/$newname -m $oldname For Samba, I cannot find any command or option to pdbedit that would do that. Before, I could have edited smbpasswd by hand, but now it seems everything is in /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb. I am using "smbd version 3.0.2a-Debian", and my smb.conf has passdb backend = tdbsam If I just create new users with the new user name, I'm afraid their Windows profile and user registry will not work. Thanks for any help, Mi
