[Samba] Migrating Samba and Users to another Fedora 3 box

Hi...
I am planning on going from a 36-gig Raid-1 box to an 250-gig Raid-1
(ide) box. The current server is Fedora Core 3 and the new one will
also be Fedora Core 3. This box is only used for Samba (file sharing
and printer sharing). The system works great, I just need more space.
So, could someone please help me out with moving user info and /home
directory to the new box? Here are some of the things I am assuming I
will need to keep me from recreating users and what not:
/etc/passwd - for system users
/etc/samba/smb.conf - my config
/etc/samba/smbusers - samba user info
/home - all user dirs and public shares are in here
Is that it?
Also, this might be the wrong place for this, but...I can't do a
tar.gz of the home directory due to the fact that the drive is almost
full. I need to make a tar.gz put | it to the new box via scp. I
have seen it done before, can anyone point me in the right direction
for a how-to?
Thank you,
aaron
