Howdy All,

I need to change the machine names on about 10 machines ( winxp ) on a
samba 3.05/redhat9 network ( NO LDAP )

Am I correct in the order I have listed below to accomplish this

1. remove the machines from the domain ( change to a workgroup )
2. remove the machines from the smbpasswd file ( I can use webmin for this )
3. stop samba
4. remove the machines from /etc/passwd
5. add new machines names to /etc/passwd
6. start samba
7. add new machines to smbpasswd
8. add machines to the domain
