When I moved our Samba PDC to a new box I found the following helpful
http://ftp.uoi.gr/mirror/net/samba/docs/htmldocs/Samba-BDC-HOWTO.html
The section "How do I set up a Samba BDC?" explained to me how to properly move the private/MACHINE.SID.
My PDC was a freeBSD system so the system passwd, group type files were moved as per this posting I found...
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-February/036123.html
Using those two docs I was able to get the new system running as the PDC.
Hope this helps

Could this have something to do with LDAP posixGroup's vrs. groupOfNames? posixGroup is outdated and cannot be used to gain access to the database itself. This means that your admins would not be able to do stuff like add/remove users but might be able to do things like delete users files and stuff. If you want admins to be database admins as well you need to add them to a groupOfNames type group also.
We were not using LDAP at all - just flat /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/samba/smbpasswd files. There isn't anything special about our setup, but still the transfer/shift of PDC machines never did work. Perhaps I needed to port over the "SID" from the old PDC to the new?
