I have been doing some work with the new Samba4 version and have some
questions. Is this the right list to ask on, or is there a development list
that would be better?
(I am currently following the Samba4 HOWTO Wiki at:
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO, and building from the
"git"
repository. The system seems to be working well, but I have some questions
about migrating users from an existing Samba3 domain and specifying a
SID/RID instead of just taking whatever value the system hands out to me.
I've spent weeks trying to find answers on Google, but have turned up empty
so far.)

There's a script in development to do the migration from an LDAP directory, referred to as myldap-pub.py in the archives. It will likely be committed to the Samba repository soon under a different name.> SID/RID instead of just taking whatever value the system hands out to me. > ?I've spent weeks trying to find answers on Google, but have turned up empty > so far.)The provision script does have a --domain-sid option.
