I know. Just copy the files

/etc/passwd /etc/group

/etc/samba
/var/lib/samba
/var/spool/samba
/var/cache/samba


So do not mess with the password hashes for machine accounts in /etc/passwd 
since that hashed password has to match the password in smbpasswd?

If so, fffeeewww, now the task sounds doable! ;-)

Thanks,

I am saying it's much easier to copy the working server configuration
to a new server than try to recreate the setup. Unless you really want
to change the uids and gids.
