I have to migrate a Samba 3 to a new Samba 4 server.
My problem is that the database on the samba 3 server seems a bit empty. The secrets.dtb file is only 20K whereas the “pbedit -L |wc -l”command give me 16970 lines.
On my Samba3 /var/lib/samba is 1,5M
After I had migrate the databse (following instructions on http://dev.tranquil.it/index.php/SAMBA_-_Migration_Samba3_Samba4), “pdbedit -L” command on the new server give me only : SAMBA4$, Administrator, dns-samba4, krbtgt and nobody.
So I tried to create a VM with a Samba3. I added some users, done the same things I did for the migration and now I can see the users created on the VM.
It’s like users on the Samba 3 server are in a sort of cache.
I already migrate the /etc/{passwd,shadow,group} files and I can see users with the “getent passwd” command.
Any ideas why my users are present when I use pdbedit but the database is so empty ?
