Hi,
Need to upgrade client's server hardware to new hardware, sme v7.
Client on sme since about 2000, various versions.
Backup to desktop and/or USB disk, restore onto new hardware - fresh install sme v7 produces above error.
As test:
Clean install of v7, copied some data, backed up and restore to clean v7 do not produce the above error.
How do I move to the new server hardware?
Cant access server manager from console or workstation PC.
Root logon O.K.
Thanks
Chris

You can change the admin password manually from a root prompt using:
# passwd admin
Changing password for user admin.
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Are you following all the steps in Upgrading vs new install + restore (http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=30745.0)? (Note: this link points to entry #49 on page 4 of a very long discussion...)

Changing the password was my first action, confirmed password was changed but not able to logon.
I used backup to desktop and also dar.
Both give the same error, seems some permission somewhere.
This is on a system that has been upgraded from way back when to version 7. Clean test setup v6 to v6.5 then to v7 produce the same errors. v7 to v7 clean no errors.
I did not follow the steps in the post, I was not aware that there may be errors. All my other servers backed-up and restored fine on hardware upgrades.
I do not have the old server with me, only backup sets from desktop backup and dar, server working at client site for about 300 users.

Here are some file fragments that might affect your issue.
Also, I had problems with the first SME7 I setup when I selected a password containing the "&" character during installation - the install routine did something funny and the password was not what I expected. Have you tried using "passwd admin" to set a very simple password for admin?
Lastly, I've included detailed listings of some of the folders involved in server-manager in case my permissions are different from yours. This system *does* have the 2006-11-07 updates installed.

Checked, looks the same, do not have sarg & admin tools installed.
Is there and easier way (and how - not Linux literate) of copying user accounts, passwords and permissions to another sme7 box. Can copy shared data by hand and configure server settings.
-
Funny you should ask -- I just did some digging in 'lazy admin tools' last night to find an answer for another question, and found this in
man lat:lat-dump
Creates input-files for the lat-toolkit, based on the
current configuration of the SME server (5.x/6.x). The
information is extracted from the /home/e-smith/*
databases.
The resulting input-files can be used to replicate
user accounts, ibays, etc on a different SME server,
or recreate them on a clean install. To facilitate the
restoring/replicating, the lat-restore script is auto-
matically created. This will launch the various lat-
tools in the right sequence.
lat-restore
Launches all lat-tools in the correct sequence using
the config files created by lat-dump. This allows you
recreate all user accounts, groups, ibays etc with the
same uid/gid on an other server or to restore a cor-
rupted server.
lat-restore is automatically created by lat-dump and
can be edited to meet your needs
Here's a link to a post on how to get LAT, with a quick step-by-step on installing it: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=34588.0
Once you've installed LAT you can dump your current info like this:
mkdir -p /root/lat/data
cd /root/lat/data
lat-dump -d
Now you have the following files in /root/lat/data ("sme" is the name of my server):lat-restore
sme.Procmail
sme.Domains
sme.Pseudonyms
sme.Groups
sme.Quota
sme.Hosts
sme.Ibays
sme.Users
sme.PPTP
lat-restore will automatically re-create all of the information in the other files on a new system; /usr/sbin/lat-users -a -p -i=sme.Users would re-load only the user information, generate new random passwords for all users, and place them in ./passwords.new.
I suppose it's possible that lat-users -a -c "admin | SME | Administrator | newpassword" might fix your admin account. lat-users takes much longer than passwd so I assume it's changing more files...

Backup to desktop and/or USB disk, restore onto new hardware - fresh install sme v7 produces above error.
As test:
Clean install of v7, copied some data, backed up and restore to clean v7 do not produce the above error.
If you did a backup to desktop, fresh install, then restore from desktop, and the system doesn't work correctly afterwards, then you shoudl report the problem via the bug tracker. You will then help us (the developers) to find the cause of the problem and fix it.

Thank you all for your help!
Used lat to get accounts across, lost all passwords - not a train smash.
Copied data by hand.
Installed this morning working great.
I will post the bug.
Thanks again.
