[Samba] Moving user accounts from a domain to another - and changing their logins

[Francis Galiegue]

I've had sort of an idea, I'd like to know whether it sounds good or not...

Given that the main problem seems to be with the user hives (ntuser.dat), I 
thought about this scenario:

- brute force copy all the profiles from the old PDC to the new PDC, 
appropriate mv/chown;
- take all ntuser.dat files from the old domain users, name them after the 
user (for instance);
- connect as a local admin to a machine in the new domain, have all the hives 
handy;
- open regedit, and then for each hive:
	* load it under HKEY_USERS,
	* modify the ACLs so that the matching new user gets all the rights,
	* unload it;
- overwrite all hives on the new profiles with the ones "corrected" via the 
step above.

What do you think? Is there some crucial part that I'm missing?
