[Samba] PDC migration from suse 8.2 - samba 2.2.7 ldap - to latest versions on ubuntu 8.04

[GG]

Hello Vladimir and hi all,

Thanks very much for replying!

Any suggested os? I'd go for debian or what advised, I just happen to
know ubuntu more...


Any strategy or hint on migrating from ancient ldap + samba to a new server?
Already tried rsyncing (using all options to keep perms and attributes
grp  own mod etc) on a twin v-machine but server starts and the ldap
auth fails to work :-(

I'm a bit stuck at the moment :-( and I have posponed the problem for
too long grrr
