We recently suffered a server loss, during the power an unforgiving power outage. I built a new machine, copied over all information contained in the home directory, and also copied shadow, shadow passwd, groups, passwd. I was able to set the permissions and ownership they way it was on the old server, and everything looked well. However when I asked the users to log in, they couldn't. Is there a file I should have copied over, that would "trick" these machines into thinking they were authenticating to the old samba server? We are running debian sarge on the 2.6.8 kernel and samba version 3.0.14a-3. All help is appreciated, thank you in advance.
