OK now I have tried copying all of the /var/cach/samba files into the
new server ( after stopping it and backing it up ) and we still have the
same issue.
Nothing seems yo be broken as far as I know now but
unless we unjoin and rejoin a machine a guest user can not logon.
Any other ideas?
I have turned on extensive logging but there doesn't seem to be anything
useful in the logs.
When the guest id tries ( windows xp ) there is no recognition of an
attempt in the log files.

Is there one particular .tdb file that is used for authentication?
The new server has been running now for two weeks and I am thinking
that I should be careful about replacing .tdb files.
It is only this one issue of workstations where we want more than one
userid to logon that needs solving.
Copying all tdb files is the way you clone a samba server, which is
what I thought you were trying to do, basically.
Pick an off hours time, make backup copies, test it out on a few PCs.
If it goes haywire, just restore the backup copies.
You're sorta in between now. You can either do the work to move
forward with the current setup or try to restore the old setup. You'll
need to decide which way is better due to work for you, inconvenience
to the users, pitfalls, etc.
