I'm working on migrating from Mandrake 10.0 to Ubuntu 5.10. The last,
and probably most important, service to be moved is Samba...
The setup is fairly simple, here is is:
- Mandrake Linux 10.0
- Samba 3.0.10
Here's the "global" Samba configuration of my server:
[global]
workgroup = <workgroup name>
server string = <string>
passdb backend = tdbsam:/etc/samba/passdb.tdb
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
unix password sync = Yes
time server = Yes
load printers = No
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m %u
delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r %u
add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g
delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g
add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G %g %u
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null %u
logon script = scripts\%U.bat
logon drive = H:
logon home = \\%N\%U\profile.w98
domain logons = Yes
wins support = Yes
ldap ssl = no
idmap uid = 15000-20000
idmap gid = 15000-20000
admin users = root, tom
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
veto oplock files = /*.xls/
Transferring the files and the associated shares is the easy part. What
I'm concerned about is getting the domain and user/group information to
transfer without having to reconfigure all of the workstations or all of
the user/group accounts on the new server.
I looked to see if I could find such a guide for doing this but wasn't
able to--not sure if maybe I'm searching for the wrong terms or whatnot.
Any suggestions offered and/or pointers to documentation would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
