Is the samba domain ADS based ? have you used the idmap_rid feature ? (a *must* when having multiple linux/unix machines using winbind in a AD domain to have a consistent id/sid mapping accross all the samba machines instead of the 'first come, first serve' id from from idmap pool) . If not, don't forget that even if you configure winbind/samba the same way it was on the old machine, the uid/gid map will never be the same (except when using idmap_rid directly) So my advice is just to backup the permissions on the old machine (with getfacl) , rsync the data, join the new machine to the domain, and restores permissions back (with setfacl --restore) -- -- Fabian Arrotin idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` test -z "$idea" && echo "sorry, init 6 in progress" || sh ./answer.sh
