I agree, Dan. I will be doing a SMB upgrade this morning. I'm still not
clear about machine names (whether they still have to be done or not).
There is some sort of tool called Winbond to automatically add machine names
to the domain.

On second thought (and some analysis by David Brown), No. 5 is a bad
idea.
The system may check for the existence of files in /etc/samba, and if it
finds
them, remove them and replace them with symlinks to the same files in /etc.
Instead of symlinking the whole directory to /etc, it'd be better to
leave /etc/samba/ in place, and create symlinks there to the appropriate
files:
# ln -s /etc/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf
# ln -s /etc/smbpasswd /etc/samba/smbpasswd
# ln -s /etc/MACHINE.SID /etc/samba/MACHINE.SID
# ln -s /etc/lmhosts /etc/samba/lmhosts
# ln -s /etc/smbusers /etc/samba/smbusers
