RE: [Samba] Move Samba to another server
At the moment, I am using simple passwd for local users, but I intend to set up LDAP on the 'new server'. However, due to the number of users (10), it might be simpler to re-create the entire organisation from the ground up. With a single auth system, it might be easier to manage samba, pop3-ssl (different server), pop3 (another server) and other services. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Andrew Bartlett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: dinsdag 23 augustus 2005 12:35 Aan: Kit Gerrits CC: 'Kit Gerrits'; samba@lists.samba.org Onderwerp: RE: [Samba] Move Samba to another server On Tue, 2005-08-23 at 12:16 +0200, Kit Gerrits wrote: > Thanks for the reply! > > Great, so I can just copy the Data... > > Can you tell me how uer mapping is done? > Does it map by username or by userID? (planning on some restructuring). You should really try and keep the same usernames and userids. It is possible to change UIDs, and provided you used ldap or tdbsam (I think, but I've never done it there) you can have arbitrary rids. Keeping this constant is the way to ask for less trouble...

Thanks for the reply! Great, so I can just copy the Data... Can you tell me how uer mapping is done? Does it map by username or by userID? (planning on some restructuring).

The best option is to copy the whole lot - every Samba TDB (but particularly secrets.tdb, passdb.tdb), every user directory, as well as the system user database (if using /etc/passwd, just the non-system entries). If you are a DC, then it should just 'drop in', once you get the users back in place.

[Samba] Move Samba to another server
Hello all, I am intending to install a new server and migrate all my data to it (the server was severely underpowered and the O/S needed to be upgraded anyway). Now, I need to move the user database and Samba Server. I can easily move the data and (kinda) re-create the users, but I don't know what data needs to be migrated to the new server? It would be nice to migrate things like Profiles, et al. Would it be better to create a new domain or should I build the new server next to the old one. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
