hi ignacio,

i have only a short question:

we have to migrate a samba 2.2.2 with /etc/private/smbpasswd backend to
samba 2.2.3a (maybe 2.2.4 if it is released until then :)

now the import2_smbpasswd.pl creates no samba_account, but
smbPasswordEntrys.

so my idea is:
migrate the /etc/passwd with the padl migration tools and do than a
smbpasswd -a username (for each user).

after that, i write a short script (bash, cause i am not so familiar
with perl.) and replace all ntPassword and lmPassword entries in the
ldapserver.

so the only unknow thing to me is:
how does the rid-calculation works?

after moving the MACHINE.SID from the old server to the new one,
everything should work fine again?
if the rid's stay the same?

are i am correct?

greetings
thomas
