Also, if you have any domain trusts you will want to be very sure to
preserve /etc/samba/secrets.tdb intact.  Recent versions of samba
(such as 3.0.25 through 3.0.28) don't seem to be able to create
functional interdomain trust accounts, but sometimes they will work if
you have a secrets.tdb from a functioning older server.
