I gave it another go after deleting the database, and it worked fine. So the lesson is don't assume LDAP is doing the right thing just because it looks like it is :-) TB -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Unfortunately. Yes, it seems unfortunately, even if I heard of quite a few people on this list talking about these tools and docs to migrate their bases.

[Samba] Migrating to LDAP
Can anyone point me to a guide on migrating Linux and Samba accounts to LDAP? I can only find part guides, and I can't figure out how to get the account data combined (without a lot of manual effort). I can get the Linux accounts over no problems. I then tried to do "pdbedit -i tdbsam -e ldapsame -s /path/to/modified/smb.conf", but it only manages to stuff things up by skipping the real accounts and creating the system accounts (which I don't want). I then tried clearing the LDAP data and doing the pdbedit thing first. But it still skips real users and just creates the systems accounts.
