[Samba] migrating from samba 3 to samba 4

Thu Mar 13 04:46:19 MDT 2014

I think it works if you are not chiming from an LDAP back end as well.  You
will just need to copy the lib folder over so it has access to the
databases.  How many users?  I'm thinking about the best way to get their
profiles over. I'm assuming that their usernames will stay the same?
