Thanks for the reply!
Great, so I can just copy the Data...
Can you tell me how uer mapping is done?
Does it map by username or by userID? (planning on some restructuring).
Thnx,
Kit

The best option is to copy the whole lot - every Samba TDB (but particularly
secrets.tdb, passdb.tdb), every user directory, as well as the system user
database (if using /etc/passwd, just the non-system entries).
If you are a DC, then it should just 'drop in', once you get the users back
in place.
