	Manually copy the files. ;)

	Yes, but instead of tdbsam I would recommend smbpasswd
just for the migration, which means, export to smbpasswd on
your old server and import it to tdbsam on your new server.

	What else you have in mind? :-)

	Hmmm, you can use that, but:

   RPC VAMPIRE
       Export users, aliases and groups from remote server  to  local  server.
       Can only be run an a BDC.


	Only if you are a BDC. :)
