Thanks for all the info. It sounds like the process might be more
involved than I’d hoped, although I had a feeling it might not be
totally straightforward. I need to do a bit of reading up on Samba
so that I have a better idea of how it hangs together with regard
to passwords, groups and
Actually, I seem to have it working now! I’ll need to document
what I did, and will have to test it again from scratch as I may
have done one or two things which weren’t necessary etc. The PC is
logging onto the Debian server with no nasty warnings or errors,
the server-side login script is
Thanks very much for your detailed reply. I’m sure it will be very
helpful.
Is there an easy way to search for your earlier posts? I’m looking
in the archives, and opening them by month, then searching for your
name. It just seems a bit long-winded – I’m not sure when you would

You may want to look into using the Sernet packages instead of the
Debian ones, then you'll have an up-to-date Samba 3.6.16

I’m testing moving a current Samba PDC configuration from an
existing Unix server to a new Debian server, and as expected, can’t
login to the new PDC from a PC which had been connected to the old
PDC.
The new Debian Samba configuration is working okay in that I can
join a new PC to it,

Run the testparm -v to see full details, including defaults that may
