[Samba] samba migration woes

[g s]

Thank you for the response Helmut,

The problem when I do that is the Centos box with Samba 3.0.28 generates 
an schannel_store.tdb in the "private" dir when I attempt to login from a 
client machine. It allows the login but denies access to the users home 
dir on the samba server. In the schannel_store.tdb some machine info is
placed similar to what you see in the secrets.tdb file. This causes problems
with the client machines not being able to find the user profile...etc. I would 
like to fix this issue the "right way" whatever that is, instead of starting over
and rejoining all the machines in the domain again. Any insights would be
appreciated. Thanks.

Greg

Where's the problem?
If you take the old "samba.cnf" for the new samba version then samba  
will tell you which parameters are not allowed ("obsolete").

        testparm -s >/dev/null

If your passwd file lies in "/etc/samba/private" then you have to copy  
the complete directory contents to the new machine (especially a file  
"secrets.tdb" with the "local SID").

You don't need to copy the tdb files in "/var/lock/samba" - they are  
created new if they don't exist on the new system.

Perhaps you need to put every client out of the domain, restart the  
client and put it into the domain again.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
