[Samba] Move Samba to another server

[Kit Gerrits]

At the moment, I am using simple passwd for local users, but I intend to set
up LDAP on the 'new server'.

However, due to the number of users (10), it might be simpler to re-create
the entire organisation from the ground up.

With a single auth system, it might be easier to manage samba, pop3-ssl
(different server), pop3 (another server) and other services.

You should really try and keep the same usernames and userids.  It is
possible to change UIDs, and provided you used ldap or tdbsam (I think, but
I've never done it there) you can have arbitrary rids.  Keeping this
constant is the way to ask for less trouble...
