Hello,

Either my previous message went unnoticed, or nobody knows? Since I didn't find anything through Google, I will try again here:

I need to rename a few users: change their login, but leave everything else as is, like their password, etc.

On the Linux side usermod seems to have done what I wanted:

  usermod -l $newname -c $newfullname -d /home/$newname -m $oldname

For Samba, I cannot find any command or option to pdbedit that would do that.

Before, I could have edited smbpasswd by hand, but now it seems everything is in /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb.

I am using "smbd version 3.0.2a-Debian", and my smb.conf has

  passdb backend = tdbsam

If I just create new users with the new user name, I'm afraid their Windows profile and user registry will not work.

Thanks for any help,

Mi
