Hello Vladimir and hi all, Thanks very much for replying!
Any suggested os? I'd go for debian or what advised, I just happen to know ubuntu more... Any strategy or hint on migrating from ancient ldap + samba to a new server? Already tried rsyncing (using all options to keep perms and attributes grp own mod etc) on a twin v-machine but server starts and the ldap auth fails to work :-( I'm a bit stuck at the moment :-( and I have posponed the problem for too long grrr Giorgio On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 9:20 AM, Vladimir Psenicka <vladimir.pseni...@prodeco.cz> wrote: > Dne 23.3.2010 15:48, Giorgio napsal(a): >> Hello, >> Hopefully I'm in the right place asking for help :-) >> >> I need to move from an old physical Suse 8.2 - samba 2.2.7 + ldap - to >> latest samba versions, I would like to use an ubuntu 8.04 virtual machine. >> >> The domain is in production on the physical server, to be dismissed after >> migration.
