samba connections

[zdrysdal@diagnostic.co.nz]

Hi

I have recreated a samba file server on another machine... ie "cp -a" for
everything from an nfs mounted drive.  I copied the passwd, group and
smb.conf file as well.  When i restarted samba on the new server and tried
to map a drive via windows... it told me that my password was invalid.  I
then realised that the origional server had a file smbpasswd... so i copied
that across to the new server and tried to map a drive again... but it
still did not work.  So, due to lots of annoyed users i have had to go back
to the origional server...wasting hours of time copying live data to to the
new server.

here is a share entry in smb.conf...the "security" setting is not set.

[suesharon]
comment = sue shared directory
valid users = sue lindsey
path = /home/sue
create mask = 0770
directory mode = 0770
force group = sue
writable = yes
public = no

does anyone know why it thinks that the passwd for this share is wrong...
even though i have copied the passwd, group,
and smbpasswd files?

thanx
