[Samba] Simple question about Samba3 and Samba4 in the same site
I want to deploy a test server with the same SID and same users as the samba3 server. My idea is next: - Samba3 PDC running actually is located throught WINS - Samba4 is located by DNS putting his own DNS server in the client configuration. The two servers are in the same network/VLAN separate from the users network/VLAN. This test could give me any problem?

[Samba] Simple question regarding smbpasswd
Hi, all -- I want to add SMB passwords using a script. It would appear that some variant on the following: smbpasswd -a -s newusername would work. However, the syntax of the -s option isn't clear. How do I insert the password of the new user into the script?

[Samba] simple question concerning update 2.2.8 to 3
Hi, we run a RH 9 Server with samba 2.2.8 as a PDC. Win 2K/XP Clients can log in without a problem, logonscripts work fine. Now I'd like to update to Fedoroa Core 1 with Samba 3.0.0. I have read the update chapter of the The Official Samba-3 HOWTO, but have the simple questions: will the new samba server work out of the box with the old configuration, so I can addjust the changed/new parameters at a later time? Or will I have to change the changed/new options in advance? So is there a step by step how to upgrade?

Re: [Samba] Simple question on Wins...
Just thought i'd share a quick tid bit of info I found out today as to WHY I have to run wins on my samba PDC... I was in the process today of setting up some VPN connections through our firewall. Reading through the docs, there was a part there that specifically said that a Wins server is needed. I was a little surprised by this so I contacted the vendor to verify this. They informed me that a WINS server is very much needed or the VPN would not work properly at all. Must to my dismay, looks like im up a creek with out a paddle at this point. Oh well. Hopefully, in the future, when management starts listening instead of barking, I can set up things my way. :) I appreciate everyones help on this list. Everyone is great.
