yes It relies on the stuff in /var so don't forget to back that up too. (the exact location of the stuff it needs in /var depends on how you compiled samba) Probably you should test on a non-production machine first if you can't tolerate much downtime. You're not likely to get it all working perfectly quickly enough that your users don't notice that things are unavailable. brad -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
