I recently did a similar upgrade, moving from Suse 9.3 to 10.2(the 10.2
was installed on a new machine). I copied over the relevant files
(which for me on Suse where /var/lib/samba, /etc/samba, /etc/passwd,
/etc/group), configured samba on the new box, shutdown the old samba and
started the new samba and I did not have to rejoin any machine to the
domain.

All,
I would like to upgrade our Fedora Core 3 Linux server (hosting samba,
among other services) to Cent OS 4.4. However, if I reformat the array
and install Cent OS 4.4 and copy back all the samba files (and other
files), do my Windows XP Clients have to re-join the domain? I ask
this because I have 150 machines and going to each one and leaving the
domian and rejoining essentially the same domain would be a major time
sink.
Has anyone recovered a samba server from a fatal crash (or other
reason) and had any luck with windows xp clients and not having to
go to each client?
Samba Version: 3.0.14
Thanks in advance,
