[Samba] Server Migration Problem

[Matt Skerritt]

Problem solved!

Apparently the SID for the domain doesn't matter when there's an LDAP  
server, as samba reads the sid from the LDAP entry for the domain (it  
does a search for sambaDomainName=<DOMAIN>).

My problem was rather patheticly simple. Turns out that solaris  
seperates out the nmbd and smbd process. I had turned on samba (smbd)  
but not wins (nmbd). I've enabled wins, and everything's fine now -  
except that I feel dreadfully embarrassed ;)
