samba - Nov 2008 - vampire account migration (3.026)

Hello,

Using vampire to migrate accounts from an NT box and found that machine
names were not created.

Creating account: IT-NT$
Could not create posix account info for 'IT-NT$'
Creating account: PDC$
Could not create posix account info for 'PDC$'
<snip>

And seemingly random user accounts were also not created.

Can I make another pass with vampire to retrieve the missed accounts or is
there another way. Also, where should I add the machine names and manually?

Thank you in advance,

James

Hello,

Solved the problem for the missing user accounts, however I am still not
sure why the machine names didn't migrate over.

Now trying to connect a Linux workstation to authenticate against the
domain, smb & nmb are running, but I am not able to join the domain

The logs show that although the Administrator account exists, the
'getpwnam'
fails. Using tbdsam on the backend.

Any clues on how I ca nfix this?

Thank you,
