We are currently using the smbpasswd backend. I plan to move to tdbsam but that hasn't been done yet. All of the servers in question are running either whitebox 3 or redhat 9 (if it matters) and Samba 3.0.4. Our primary migration goal is to not have to touch all the 2000 workstations to rejoin them to the domain.
I have messed around with manually merging /etc/group, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/samba/smbpasswd and copying /etc/samba/secrets.tdb from the old to the new server and have been able to make this work (once at least so far - I'm still experimenting) but would like to use better methods for the migration.
I like 'net rpc vampire' on NT4 but that to my surprise doesn't seem to work against a Samba PDC and if it is addressed in a Samba to Samba context in either book I couldn't find it. I'm going to experiment in a little while with converting to tdbsam first but it occured to me that someone out there might be able to cut down on the time I have to spend experimenting if I just ask.
Anyone done this before?
