[Samba] New users cannot log on, current users okay

[Marian Mlcoch, Ing]

I mean that you not copy all neccessary files to your new samba conf before
it start.
You must stop server and owerwrite all conf files that is necessary to conf
identical server ID
resp. machine ID. (files on /etc/samba and /var/cache/samba) with old
backup.
