Hello again,

Here one more post to get my roaming profiles work.

I want to change the SID of the Samba 3.0.22 PDC following this
description: 
http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetCommand.html#id2600168

Results:

first
root#  net getlocalsid
<error, which I can't remember or produce>

next step:
root# net setlocalsid SID_WANTED
root#

root# net getlocalsid
SID for domain DOMAIN is: SID_WANTED

Result:
Client with Roamingprofile based on SID_WANTED is not able to connect to
DOMAIN but has access to shares.

OOOoops!

More Tests found here:
http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetCommand.html#netmisc1

root# net rpc info
Domain Name: DOMAIN
Domain SID: SID_NOT_WANTED
Sequence number: 1206493306
Num users: 37
Num domain groups: 0
Num local groups: 0
root#

I read "net" manual but did not see one more command which can _change_
Domain's SID. But maybe there is and I did't understand.

Any idea what to do or where to continue reading?

More Info:
Samba  3.0.22 ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
about 15 Win2000 clients, about 30 users.
3 Clients are accidently joined to DOMAIN with SID_NOT_WANTED and have
problems to access files in shares. I expect to get this solved by
fixing the Domain SID.

Short story:
I moved my samba configuration to a new machine, including an update of
samba version (from 2.2.7 compiled from source to 3.0.22 ubuntu 6.06.1
LTS package).

I met some pain described here:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/upgrades.html#id2596678

read some lines of documentation and did some tests to enlighten my
dark (linux-) brain.

Now I'm upto here.

I posted the long story some time ago:
