I am creating a second member file server within my domain. I would like to transfer all the files off the first member to the second. Not quite sure how to proceed with this task. I assume that the two member file servers should have the idmap ranges within their smb.conf files? I tried to locate this within the wiki and have not been able to find as of yet. Suggestions? -- _______________________________ Bob Wooden of Donelson Trophy 615.885.2846 www.donelsontrophy.com [1] "Everyone deserves an award!!" Links: ------ [1] http://www.donelsontrophy.com

Make appropriate adjustments and start there. Excellent!! Thank you. -- _______________________________ Bob Wooden of Donelson Trophy
