My usual way: - copy/overwrite "/etc/samba" to the new machine - copy/overwrite all user account and all machine account informations (especially in "/etc/passwd" and "/etc/shadow") to the new machine - Stop samba on both machines - Shut off all Clients (that may be a bit neurotic ...) - start samba on the new machine - Start one client for testing - if ok: start the other clients Last friday a colleague and I have done these steps once more, successfully.
