Which is quite possible since I forget more than I learn it seems.

> If you want client machines to be able to log in the old domain, you
really should copy the user database "one-by-one". Old database contains
accounts like "MACHINE$", and those entries have own password. Those
passwords are stored in the registry of a client's system. Of course, if
you simply backup old database, slapcat it to the file, change the "cn"
entries in the file and slapadd it, the resulting user database from the
Samba's point of view will have all the previous accounts and passwords
just in place. This IS the thing you want, don't you? I've got some
experience of changing the cn attribute in LDAP, but the network was
rather much smaller (about 10 computers). I do not remeber exactly, but
there exists an option to reset Samba password for machine account.

Well, it was after 9pm when I left last night and I had been staring at
these computers since 6:30am yesterday morning.  As I walked into my
office this morning, it hit me that the machine that I had
slapcat/slapadded to the new server was the wrong machine that I was
trying to log in with.  I'll blame it on being tired.

It looks like that actually worked.  I don't want all of my users, but I
do want all of the machine accounts.  I just need to find a way to slapcat
the machine accounts only.  I know my new server has an '-a' switch that
would let me do it, but for some reason the old one does not even though
it is showing the same verion of slapcat in the manpage.

Thanks.
