I'm not. But I have tens of emails in my in-box that *should* be on the list.

No, please don't. See this link for why:

If you're having problems with mailing list handling, please use a better mail 
client that understands and uses the list-id and friends headers.

Oh yes. You can copy the users from /etc/passwd and groups from /etc/groups.

Don't copy the whole files, just copy & paste the entries you need.

It's not hard. I've done it many times. You need to move /etc/samba,
/var/lib/samba, /var/cache/samba, /var/spool/samba, and your shares of
course.

[Samba] How to migrate samba to new box

2009-07-19 Thread Tri Trinh
Dear list,

I have samba 3.0.21 on a fedora 5 box. I would like to migrate the
whole things to a new box which runs CentOS 5.3. Is there any way to
migrate samba verbatim to a new box?

Tried to google but found instruction on how to migrate from Windows
to Samba only.

Thanks in advance.

Rgds,
Tri
