[Samba] RE: vampire account migration (3.026)

[James D. Parra]

Hello,

Using vampire to migrate accounts from an NT box and found that machine
names were not created.

Creating account: IT-NT$
Could not create posix account info for 'IT-NT$'
Creating account: PDC$
Could not create posix account info for 'PDC$'
<snip>

And seemingly random user accounts were also not created.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello,

Solved the problem for the missing user accounts, however I am still not
sure why the machine names didn't migrate over.

Now trying to connect a Linux workstation to authenticate against the
domain, smb & nmb are running, but I am not able to join the domain

The logs show that although the Administrator account exists, the 'getpwnam'
fails. Using tbdsam on the backend.

Any clues on how I ca nfix this?

Thank you,
