I just compiled the latest snapshot but I can't figure out which program is the one that I would want to use for editing profiles. In source/profile/ I see profile.c and after the build I get only an object file (profile.o) - so tried to grep all documents and sourcefiles for something that gives me more info - but no luck. I must have missed it I guess, doesn't help that it's 5am either :-( Anyway, migrating 20 w2k workstations from an old NT 4.0 server to samba 2.2.7a has cost me like 24 hours altogether now. I dont even need the PDC functionality, I just dont want to reinstall all those applications and settings on all those client machines ;-) I wonder if I really have to buy the MS Resource Kit to get the info that is needed to successfully migrate those silly profiles. I figured what I am trying to do is something that other samba admins have faced before?! Has anyone on this list done it? If yes, I'd really appreciate if you can drop me a line.
