Hi All, I have a query regarding the interaction between Samba, LDAP and vampire.
The situation is as follows. I have five NT4 servers serving 1000 users 700 of which have 4-digit numeric logins. I have a Samba PDC that I'd like to transfer all the accounts and data to, Vampire being the obvious method. I can't transfer the logins to POSIX accounts due to the numeric uid/gid system used by Linux so I elected to use OpenLDAP. I am now at the stage where I have an LDAP server running and have created all of the NT domain groups in the LDAP directory. I have successfully created numeric id accounts in LDAP and an attempt to Vampire the accounts from the old NT4 PDC to the Samba PDC resulted in all the users appearing in directory_administrator but no Samba logins working as the XP clients reported that the accounts didn't exist on the server. Running pdbedit -Lw showed only about 5 accounts so I'm guessing there's a problem somewhere along the lines. My question is therefore, is Vampire going to work in a situation where POSIX accounts can't be created as part of the migration process and if not, can I migrate the client accounts and SIDS from the old PDC to the new one in order to save having to log all of the clients onto the new PDC again.
