Pretty much what I did to move from a Samba 2.x server to a new Samba 
3.x server.  If you're replacing a previous PDC, you'll want the sid to 
remain the same (or you'll have to rejoin the domain and suffer through 
all new profiles, etc. - not good); so in that case I would add step 
3.5: "net setlocalsid xxxxxx" (after, of course, getting the proper sid 
from the old box). Once the you have the proper local sid set, then 
step 4 should do the trick (it did for me).
