B"H At the moment, I have a Dell PowerEdge 600sc running RedHat 8.0. I am using it as a PDC, running samba 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix, with the users' home directories mapped as network drives.
I have setup Ubuntu 5.10 server on a Dell PowerEdge SC420. Its samba version is 3.0.14a-6ubuntu. I am looking for a way to replace the PowerEdge 600sc with the PowerEdge SC420, making the SC420 the PDC. I would then ideally like to install Ubuntu 5.10 server onto the PowerEdge 600sc and migrate Samba back over to the 600sc. I want the migration to be seamless, so that none of the workgroup computers need to rejoin the domain. I haven't had much luck finding explicit instructions for migrating samba to different servers, most of the information I have found talks about migrating Windows NT 4.0 to Samba 3.0 [or 2.2]. Can anyone direct me towards such instructions? These are the steps I was thinking of taking: 1) Copy /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group from RedHat 8.0 to Ubuntu 5.10. 2) Create needed home directories, and give them the proper permissions. 3) Copy contents of /etc/samba/ from RedHat 8.0 to Ubuntu 5.10, and get samba working. Steps 1 and 2 shouldn't be a problem, but I am not sure how to do step 3. Would it make sense to follow the instructions for migrating a Windows NT 4.0 server to samba 3.0 (as found here <http://samba.vernstok.nl/docs/htmldocs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#NT4Migration>)? Are there better instructions, geared specifically towards migrating samba servers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
