[Samba] Locating the MACHINE.SID fil

[Robert Adkins]

Additional Info...

	I am beginning to think that a file called 'secrets.tdb' might be what I   
am looking for. Inside that file is something mentioning SID. Of course,   
it also mentions the name of the PDC.

	If that is the file I am supposed to copy over. Then it is done.   
However, I still need a little more input for setting up a Samba BDC.

	With a Samba BDC, should I leave the server Netbios the same as the PDC   
or change that to the name of the BDC? If the latter is the case, do I   
then need to change the server name in the 'secrets.tdb' file to match   
the server name in the smb.conf file?

	Everything else in the BDC directions makes perfect sense and is   
currently done. I just need answers to these final questions before   
bringing the Samba service up live on that server.

Hello,

	I am setting up our backup Linux server to act a BDC to our Linux PDC.   
    

In the directions that are available within the Swat Online Help... There   
    

is a section that states that the private/MACHINE.SID file must be copied   
    

over exactly as is to the Samba BDC in order for that machine to act as a   
    

Samba BDC to a Samba PDC.

	For the life of me, I have been unable to locate that file. I have
updated by locatedb and have searched for it using a variety of strings   
    

and options...

	Does anyone know where that file is?
