hi, i am currently searching for a samba howto that covers the migration of a Samba 3 PDC to another piece of hardware (with changing distributions from a discontinued SUSE 9.2 to CentOS 5 parallely). Until now i converted the smbpasswd backend to tdbsam, let the new machine join the domain, and executed net rpc getsid. The i copied the secrets.tdb and the passwd.tdb to the new machine. Unfortunately user login doesn't work for the new one. In the end I am planing to turn off the old one and to make the new machine the domain master. Is there anything left that has to be done? Do i have to set new passwords? -- best regards jan
