I am attempting to move my running Samba server from an old, inadequate machine, to one that is better suited to handle the load. Our office is very small, only 8 people, and the configuration is simple. I am running Samba 3.0.23c on the old server and 3.0.23d on the new. I am using the tdbsam for the backend.
Basically I copied the entire /etc/samba directory from the old to the new server and used rsync to keep the users directories up to date with each other. The problem is, on the new machine, if I look at a users information using pdbedit -Lv <username> I see that the Kickoff time and Password Must Change fields are both set to Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:59:59 MST. This results in the users account being "expired" and of course they cannot log in. I can change the Password Must change field easily enough, but I cannot find any reference to Kickoff Time that does not also talk about LDAP in the documentation, on this list or even via Google. I don't have the time, nor frankly the inclination, to try and set up an LDAP server at the moment. Is there some way to change the Kickoff Time? Or is there a different technique I should follow to migrate servers? Thank you.
