samba - Oct 2005 - UK Samba Consultant Required

Hi All,

I would like to migrate a 10 user NT4 Domain to a new Samba server.

I have had a practice run but am struggling to make the (mostly) XP 
machines login to the new server without creating a new profile.  I am 
sure that I migrated the SID but obviously I didn't get something right!

Are there any consultants out there who might be able to help me through 
this process and teach me a little more about profiles on the way?

I've been supporting Samba for 10 years now but never as a login server 
so I have the basics but need the cream...

We're in Staffordshire but ssh will work from anywhere!

??? waiting as they say in the movies LOL

TIA

> Your message caught my eye. We support Samba but as much as we would love
the opportunity, we haven't yet migrated a Windows PDC. My advice to you is,
if you have 10 years Samba experience, you probably know as much as most.
Perhaps you might repost to the list, with some more detail (logs etc).
Cheers Andy (and others)

I will of course use this list to help me on the way, I was just hoping 
for a quick fix on this one and the opportunity to watch someone else on 
the job (I always learn from watching others)

My 10 years experience sounds great but in reality I only ever use the 
default setup in RedHat (Fedora now).  I change as little as possible so 
that it is simple to resetup new servers when I need to.  We have around 
30 Linux servers in the wild and (as you know) they jut do the business 
with minimum fuss.

Samba, Rsync, Postfix, Squid, DansGuardian, Dovecot, SpamAssassin, 
ClamAV, MySQL, Plone, Python - It does it all for us!

Ah well, I am working my way through it and I am sure I will prevail...
