Hi,

We have a linux/samba only domain serving files to about 16-18 Windows clients (mostly XP, a few W2K).

PDC:
SuSE OpenXchange 4.4
samba 2.2.8a
openldap 2.1.4

Domain Member Server
Fedora Core 1
samba 3.0.10

Currently the Domain Member Server uses the default passdb backend (/etc/samba/smbpasswd). Each user in the ldap directory on the PDC has a duplicate entry in both the /etc/samba/smbpasswd and /etc/passwd on the Domain Member Server. All this works great. ;-)

We're migrating to a new server to replace the Domain Member Server.

NEW Domain Member Server
CentOS 4.4
samba 3.0.10

I'm assuming I can just copy the /etc/samba/smbpasswd and /etc/passwd from the old Domain Member Server to the new one. Will this work?

What would I have to do to activate the domain membership of the NEW Domain Member Server?

Another question is, is there a way to link directly into the PDC for authentication so that I don't have to use the /etc/samba/smbpasswd and /etc/passwd databases?


Thanks in advance,

Tom Robinson
