I would have thought you needed to have "unix" machine accounts in the passwd/shadow file. Or are they using some sore of idmap allocation?

Hi,

I plan to update our main RedHat EL 5.6 samba server from samba 3.3.x to
3.5.x .

What I noticed as our main challenge so far, is migrating the user and
machine accounts from our old smbpasswd file to a tdbsam-.tdm fileformat.

pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd -e tdbsam:/etc/samba/passwd.tdb

throws a lot of errors regarding useraccounts which did not exist on the
posix passwd/shadow side.

If I remove the deleted accounts from the sambapasswd file as well, the
convertion goes on.

But what about the machine accounts which are in the smbpasswdfile and
not in the passwd/shadow file?

Thanks for any suggestion and comment.

        Regards . Götz
