how to migrate smb accounts to new lenny system?



  having finally made the switch from an old server running lenny to a
new one (running at the same IP address), most functions seem to be
working, but samba shares are failing -- people who used to be able to
access shares from their windows systems now can't, and the log file
reports that:

  check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user [fred] -> [fred]
FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER

  i've reproduced all of the standard user/group files so normal
logins work just fine.  i've also copied all of the samba config files
that seemed relevant.  can someone give me a hint as to the file(s) i
should have reproduced from the old system on the new one?  or must i
run "smbpasswd" for each account on the new system, or something like
that?  naturally, i'd like the users to not have to reconfigure
anything on their ends.
