[Samba] Samba 3 Upgrade Questions

[Daulton Theodore]

Hi all,

Samba 2.2.8a is currently running on Solaris 8 as a member of a domain. For
testing purposes I have installed Samba 3.0.10 on a test server (Solaris 9)
a a member of a Workgroup.

In a couple of weeks we will be upgrading our production server to Solaris 9
and are planning on doing a fresh install of Samba 3.0.10 at the same time.

I will be saving the following files to be restored after the install: 
etc/passwd, etc/shadow, smb.conf, nt-names, smbpasswd, secrets.tbd, and 
the tbd files in var/locks. Are there any other critical files that I have 
overlooked? Is it necessary to restore the tbd files after the new install?

One of my main concerns has to do with domain membership. The production 
server is currently a member of the domain (as mentioned earlier) so I am 
wondering whether after having restored my saved files and starting the 
daemon my Samba 3 server (same netbios name, ip address, smb.conf..) will 
automatically show up in Windows Explorer as a member or will I have to 
incant 'smbpasswd -j DOM -r PDC'?

Any additional hints/suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I would
like this to be successful on the first go around. The server is used for 
file sharing and printing so delays would not be appreciated.

Thanks much in advance! I've attached a modified smb.conf.
