a fix for that supposedly went into 3.3.0. And a reference to a different patch for it going into 3.3.0 in <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/samba at lists.samba.org/msg98122.html">the list archives for this list.</a> I installed from a non-source package, so I can't check to see if either patch is there or not. Still, rather than re-open a two-year-old bug on the presumption that I am the only person that its broken for since, I thought I should check and see if anyone had any insight into it first... any thoughts? Is it just broken of these scripts to be trying to move tdb files across machines in the first place? If I wipe them clean and just copy the configuration files, will I keep all of my configuration? Thanks for any advice, - rob.
