Fw: [Samba] Moving Samba to a different Linux server.

[Dan Gapinski]

 Please help,

 I am having a problem with a Samba server I have attempted to move to a new
 Redhat 9 box (it was on Redhat 9 before).

 Here's the what I did:
 1) I transferred the follwing files & dirs to the fresh RedHat box :
 /etc/passwd
 /etc/shadow
 /etc/group
 /etc/gshadow
 /etc/samba/* (the whole dir)
 /var/cache/samba/* (the whole dir)
 2) I stopped SMB services on the old box
 3) I started SMB services on the new box
 4) I changed its dynamic IP address to static.
 5) I stopped the IP tables service

 I can locate the domain controller from the client, but get an error saying
"Cannot locate the passdb database".

Is this a SID issue? Is there any way to get around that (copy over the SID
database)?

 Any help you may be able to offer would be most appreciated.
 My best,
