Read through the Whatsnew.txt today, the only danger seems to be the changed behavior regarding SIDs and the group-mapping. I will backup /var/lib/samba before upgrade ;) What about charsets? The problem I am trying to solve seems to be related to some charset-problem: files with umlauts in their names seem to be misinterpreted by linux-tools or something like that, at least at restore time, when unpacking a tgz or similar ... Is it necessary/clever to sync the files to some XP-client (by using a XP-client that sees the filenames correctly), then upgrade samba and after that copy the files back to the Samba-share, storing the files onto the linux-filesystem through the uptodate-samba again? Hope this doesn't sound too weird. I am spending way too much time on debugging this already, backup isn't reliable there right now and I have to find a solution soon without risking too much.
