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

pmdasamba
PMDASAMBA(1) Performance Co-Pilot PMDASAMBA(1)
NAME
pmdasamba - Samba performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)
DESCRIPTION
pmdasamba is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from Samba, a Windows SMB/CIFS server for UNIX.
In order for values to be made available by this PMDA, Samba must have been built with profiling support (WITH_PROFILE in "smbd -b"
output). This PMDA dynamically enumerates much of its metric hierarchy, based on the contents of "smbstatus --profile".
When the agent is installed (see below), the Install script will attempt to enable Samba statistics gathering, using "smbcontrol
--profile".
INSTALLATION
If you want access to the names and values for the samba performance metrics, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba
# ./Install
If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba
# ./Remove
pmdasamba is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
installed or removed.
FILES
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba/Install
installation script for the pmdasamba agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba/Remove
undo installation script for the pmdasamba agent
$PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/samba.log
default log file for error messages from pmdasamba
