moving a system to SLES9 w/OpenLDAP. Existing system used tdbsam. Set up
new server, configured w/openldap and LAM. Things appear to be working
fine with the new config, but there are problems in migrating user and
machine accounts. The new domain, nor users are recognized in LAM. The
machine accounts are listed as existing, but hostnames are not showing.
I suppose that this is due to the fact that the migration using the
pdbedit -v -i tdbsam -e ldapsam
did not properly assign machines to the proper OU, and users to the proper
default groups, etc. The pdbedit command was done after the ldap db was
populated with the IDEALX smbldap-populate tool.
I had built the new server, then simply moved the /etc/samba and
/var/lib/samba/*.tdb files into place before doing the pdbedit. Is there a
method of moving the existing accounts and machine information into the
proper groups, or do I need to start over and do this in a different
order?
