[Samba] Switching to another Samba server

Well, it would appear that the newly created smbpasswd file, in
conjunction with Andrew's advice to export /tmp before running smbd, did
the trick... Mostly. The domain itself seems to be physically working.
Of course, I'll be conducting more tests as I go along. However, my
logs still show that same error about a password server. I'll re-paste
it here:
> [2002/11/13 07:09:17, 0] smbd/password.c:server_cryptkey(1054)
> password server not available
It doesn't _seem_ to be causing any problems, but any error in a log
file is cause for concern in my book. Especially when it has the word
"password" in it. Do you have any idea what it could mean, or perhaps
could point me in another direction to find it?
Again, I can't thank you enough for your offer to help on this one.
And, if you wish, I can stop spamming you with all my problems and log
files :)

Subject: RE: [Samba] Switching to another Samba server
>>What is your platform?
Mandrake Linux 9.0 (old server is Mandrake Linux 8.1).
>>Did you build the samba binaries?
2.2.2, yes. 2.2.6 was built as part of the OS install. I did a full
install (every package on the list), if that's useful to you.
>>If so, what argumentes did you give to configure when you built it?
For 2.2.2, none. Just "./configure;make;make install"
>>Which files did you copy from the old server to the new one?
smb.conf, smbpasswd, smbusers
>>On the new machine are the UIDs the same as on the old one?
Identical. But, as I said, I'll be re-making the smbpasswd file tonight
anyway. So if there are any discrepencies in users that I've
overlooked, that will fix them.
