[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

if you do, you will also need to move over the private/smbpasswd entry for
the workstation as well (assuming that you have two different smbpasswd
files)

and yes, you probably do have other problems.  follow the FAQ
instructions.

btw a word of warning to people:

 BACK UP YOUR MACHINE.SID FILE IF YOU EVER INTEND TO RETURN TO USING 2.0.X
