Yes, this is correct. But you have to transfer the roles.

Yes, but naming role will fail. Even if it shows later that the new samba will 
have all roles, the failure message makes me nervous and I won't trust, if 
everything is 100% transfered. :-)

But as you can see in my bug report, the naming FSMO gives an error when you 
try to transfer it.
