Samba migration

["Paul Sims" <nospam [at] lombard.co.uk>]

Wearing my SpireLUG hat last night we started to migrate a live Mars_NWE 
server to Samba, with Samba set up as Domain Master running NT-style login 
scripts which attached the Samba users to their Netware-style user 
directories. This worked first time - all we had to do was create a 
netlogon directory, knock up a few dos batch files & restart samba to 
export a netbios name.

It can't have taken more than 30 mins. Try setting up an NT server in that 
time, with authentication & live data, and no reboots.

I love linux!

The Wulluf.
