For testing sake, we did opt to copy the winbind cache files. And once we finalize the conversion, we can do the same thing.
When you say "... each machine will hand them out to users independently of other machines, in the order in which they first hit the server." Do you mean in the order that getend passwd and getend group lists the users and groups available? As a side note, another Linux box I use for testing appears to use the same UID/GID as the new Linux file server (fs1 from earlier). I'm not familiar with using RID ids, but Dale also mentioned this as a solution. I will spend some time reading up on RIDs tomorrow. Thanks for the feed back. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Rippl [mailto:rip...@woodlandschools.org] Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2009 3:28 PM To: Joey Officer Subject: Re: [Samba] migrating from freebsd to linux - wbinfo mismatch Assuming you're using winbind to map uid/gid, each machine will hand them out to users independently of other machines, in the order in which they first hit the server. If you want consistent uid/gid between machines you need to use rid or ldap. I guess if you're migrating away from one to the other you could move your winbind cache files over to the new machine, but you couldn't have them running at the same time with new users and expect them to stay synced.
