I am sorry if this has been covered before, my searches have found variations in results.
I am using a Redhat 9 build with the Samba 2.2.7a RPM from Redhat. I am planning to move all of the services from this machine to another Redhat 9 machine. It will take the IP address and hostname of the original machine. What I need to make sure is if I simply backup the files in /etc/samba (smb.conf, lmhosts, secrets.tdb, smbpasswd, smbusers) and /var/cache/samba (the remaining .tdb files and .dat files) and copy them to the new machine will my domain be functional on the new machine? I do have a /etc/MACHINE.SID which I have kept around from previous samba versions, but I am assuming that this is no longer used. The old machine will be turned on again, but not the samba services, so no conflicts of name should arise. I am hoping that this upgrade will be a fairly simple file copy to the new machine. Any feedback and previous experience would be greatly appreciated.
