I have no idea, I have never used tdbsam... I guess there is no harm in trying :)

Thanks Marcus.

Ok, cutting and pasting /etc/passwd sounds easier for user/machine accounts.

I use tdbsam so I assume I move

/var/lib/samba/private/*.tdb  too.

What about .tdb files in

/var/cache/samba

There is bunuch of stuff like

account_policy.tdb
brlock.tdb
connections.tdb
etc.

Must it be moved or will it get recreated?

Hi Karl!

Just copy the relevant lines from /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow and merge into the files on the new server.

You should be able to move relevant lines from /var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd to.

I have to move my SAMBA PDC to new hardware. SAMBA uses /etc/passwd along with its own user database.

Can I copy /etc/passwd from the old server to the new or do I have to create a new /etc/passwd matching the user info? I believe I need to move /etc/group and /etc/shadow too. Is there such a thing and a shadow group?

What about root on the new server? Will it have problems if a new /etc/passwd is dropped in on it?
