[Samba] Upgrading samba and OS - can I rejoin ?

[Joachim Lindenberg]

I ran across this several times during my experimentation and assumed it is safe to remove secrets.*db.
Actually I would prefer if the tool would just prompt whether this is a rejoin attempt and then does whatever is needed to clean up.
Regards, Joachim

Hai Andrew, 

I just tested this on 4.10.7
Which resulted in : 

ERROR(<class 'samba.join.DCJoinException'>): uncaught exception - Can't join,
error: Not removing account DC1$ which looks like a Samba DC account matching the password we already have.  
To override, remove secrets.ldb and secrets.tdb

The wiki does not say we have to remove the old the secrets. 

Report it as bug? Or add the info on the wiki to remove the secrets files?

Greetz, 

Louis
