Hi, I need to change the SID of a Samba server I have running. This used to be relatively straightforward - one simply shut down Samba, backed up the MACHINE.SID file, edited it to reflect the new SID for the machine, and started up again.
However, recent versions of Samba have done away with the MACHINE.SID file in favour of secrets.tdb. I've looked at the tdb tools in the source/tdb directory shipped with Samba, but it's unobvious to me how to go about changing the SID. Is there a simple way to change this information? I've found reference to a tdbimport and tdbexport, but mailing list threads seem to suggest that they are imperfect. I had old versions (I think I got them with TNG), but they won't even open secrets.tdb. Any help/hints - before I go of on a wild goose chase - would be much appreciated. Mike.
