No, I don't think so.
Where is the SID?

When I added the xp machines to my first server, I did the following:
# useradd xp001$
# smpasswd -am xp001$

I then went to the xp001 machine and joined it to my domain.
Since, I copied my /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/samba/smbpasswd files
over to my new server, I figured the xp machines would login again.

How do I set the old SID?

Thanks,
Mike
