Basically, if your smb.conf and all the .tdb databases get moved, you
should be good to go. Just make sure that your local accounts and
machine name are the same as on the old server and the move should be
transparent to the users.

You can also look at the the vampire mode for moving your Samba setup
from one machine to another. It's been a while since I've done this, but
it wasn't overly difficult.
