[Samba] Question on migrating NT4 shares to Samba 3 (Mandrake)

[John Little]

Hi all,

A quick question on migrating some shares so that they retain proper
user and group permissions from NT4 to Samba 3.

I plan on using ch 31 Migration from NT4 PDC to Samba-3 PDC
(http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/NT4Migration.html) as a guide to
perform the migration.  User authentication is by winbind.  This is
already up and running with the machine joined to the domain.

The Samba machine will be a member server rather than a domain
controller.  I have already made a trial run at just moving the
directories/files via rsync which went well.  

Since the machine will not be a domain controller, is there any part of
those instructions that I should not perform or additional instruction
listed elsewhere that I should know about?  One that comes to mind is
should I migrate the users since the net rpc vampire command is for use
on a bdc? 

Thanks for any insight.

Regards to all,
John Little
