migrate samba pdc from one server to another
Hi there,
Hope this forum is adapted to my question. I have :
+ 1 Debian server with Samba set to authenticate users in the domain HOME (workgroup = HOME / domain logons = yes).
+ 3 Windows XP Laptops configured to belong to the domain HOME. So on startup, I'm invited to enter a login password that exists in Samba.
I wanted to change my server for a more powerfull one. So :
+ I bought the new server and installed it with Samba.
+ I copied all parameters from previous smb.conf
+ I copied all users accounts and files to the new server
+ I shutdown the old server and started the new one
Result: The Windows XP Laptops are not able to log into the domain.
What's the problem? Any idea?
Thanks for your help.
Santiago

masktest - Find differences in wildcard matching between Samba's implementation and that of a remote server.
SYNOPSIS
masktest {//server/share} [-U user%pass] [-d debuglevel] [-W workgroup] [-n numloops] [-s seed] [-a] [-E] [-M max protocol] [-f filechars]
[-m maskchars] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
masktest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between Samba's own implementation and that of a remote server. It will run
generate random filenames/masks and check if these match the same files they do on the remote file as they do on the local server. It will
display any differences it finds.
This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.
OPTIONS
-U user%pass
Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares. This parameter can be specified twice (once for the first server,
once for the second).
-s seed
Seed the random number generator with the specified value.
-n numops
Set the number of operations to perform.
-a
Print the operations that are performed.
-M max_protocol
Maximum protocol to use.
-f
Specify characters that can be used when generating file names. Default: abcdefghijklm.
-E
Abort when difference in behaviour is found.
-m maskchars
Specify characters used for wildcards.
-v
Be verbose
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.0 of the Samba suite.
