[Samba] Lost group mappings going from Samba 3.5 to Samba 3.6
Greetings, I recently upgraded an AD member server from Samba 3.5.15 to Samba 3.6.9 and found that I had lost all the existing local group mappings. I see that the group mapping file has gone from group_mapping.ldb to group_mapping.tdb. Was there a conversion/upgrade procedure I should have found and used? Online documentation I can find says it is for the 3.5 series of samba, does updated documentation for 3.6 exist somewhere? Does a group mapping migration procedure exist, or will I need to recreate it from scratch? On this initial trial of Samba 3.6 only a few groups existed, on the larger production machines the story is different and recreating the groups and memberships will be a chore. Thanks!

Never got an answer. Went back to 3.5 series for the time, later, when I was ready, did the upgrade to 3.6 -- but already had a script to create my groups -- just had to make sure it was working for 3.6. So maybe a script you hand-craft is the solution? No one ever posted a better way. Good luck!
