Thanks guys, and to JT as well who offered some help earlier.

I did finally get it all to work using a combination of info from the NT 
migration and the Samba 2.2.x upgrade areas.

None to soon as the old server finally really toasted.

A bunch of files were in different places but going from a SuSE 
7.3/Samba 2.2.x to Gentoo/Samba 3.0.x that was to be expected. Only 
thing I didn't get a chance to grab was the printer drivers so i had to 
reload those.

Was worried about losing the domain/user profiles and info but it all 
worked out OK - even though the server has a different name (as long as 
you set the SID the DNS and NetBIOS names can change).

The new question is ... how does one convert from smbpasswd to tdbsam?
