upgrade reference

[Aaron E.]

Charles,

I am running debian based flavor. I have samba4 / bind 9.8 build on my 
test box working with a new provision which Ill blow away..

Can it pull the information through a network or does everything have to 
be installed on the same server?

Essentialy all I would need to do is get ldap and samba functioning and 
restore the database from my production box. Which shouldn't take too 
long but I would rather not have to install what I won't need. I'm anal 
retentive when it comes to installed packages in production..
