Sorry, I forgot to mention that no LDAP or anything "fancy" is involved. So 
Samba has made entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and that is what I am interested in 
moving properly.

"remove the old entries"... ??? I am trying to set up an identical PDC on new 
hardware.

I understand that uid/gid numbers must match, so thinking to use adduser to get 
them added, then edit the files to keep the numbers matching between the 
old/new PDC.

But then, what to do about those entries in those two files that are for 
workstations? Can I simply copy/paste from the files on the existing PDC the 
entries for the machine accounts?

Thanks,
