I've set up another LM machine to use as a replacement file server.

Could anybody let me know what files to transfer across.

do i need

Copy of all homes directories
Copy of smb.conf
Copy of smbpasswd
Copy of passwd

Is there anything else.

what file are the groups held in ?

As regards the home directories, i was going to tar them and then untar on
the other machine with the -P option, keep permissions. But do i first have
to set-up the users and groups first.

Will i have to append the group, passwd and smbpasswd entries to the new
passwd, smbpasswd and group files or just replace them ?

many thanks

Ken

ps. To all those who helped me with my missing kernel...many thanks, i now
have kernel-2.4.18.8.2mdk up and running on me LM8.1

I'm still having a problem on boot where i get

mount: can't find /proc in /etc/fstab /etc/mtab

And i still can't authenticate with a win2000, the win machine says i'm
sending a miss typed or corrupt password.

Will updating samba from 2.2.2 to 2.2.7 help me
