Hi,

I know this issue has already been handled several times, but I couldn�t
find any clear description of the procedure.

I have Samba 2.2.5 running as a PDC on a RedHat 7.3 box, which I�d like to
migrate to 3.0.2a now. Both versions are compiled from source using
different prefixes (/usr/local/samba and /usr/local/samba3), so I can still
use the old version until I get the new one working.

What I have done until now was the following:

1.      stopped samba-2
2.      copied files smb.conf, secrets.tdb, smbpasswd and all the *.tdb (and
browse.dat) files to the respective location within the samba3 directory
tree.
3.      I�ve changed all the necessary paths in the smb.conf file to point out
the right locations within the new, samba3 directory structure.
4.      I�ve checked the file by running �testparm�
5.      I�ve extracted the SID by running �net getlocalsid� command
6.      removed secrets.tdb from samba3 and run �net setlocalsid
<extracted_value>�. This created a new version of the file.
7.      started samba3. I could see the Samba server from my W2k pro box, but
when trying to access it, I just got the login dialog, but couldn�t log in.
8.      tested also �pdbedit �Lv�, but couldn�t see anything wrong.
9.      I�ve also tried to migrate my user accounts using �pdbedit -i
smbpasswd -e tdbsam�, but the result was the same.

What I did wrong? I�ve been using Samba in many years, but actually I�m no
so experienced in the subject. So I hope there is a guru out there who can
guide me through the process.

Regards, Jacek Palka
