This is the way to ensure nothing changes. But if you do wish to change OS, then just copy all the config files (Samba, CUPS), the Samba TDBs, and keep the same machine name. It should work :-) Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Authentication Developer, Samba Team http://samba.org Student Network Administrator, Hawker College [EMAIL PROTECTED]
