[Samba] Help with smbpasswd file

Is there a procedure for copying the smbpasswd from an old machine to a new
machine (fresh samba build), and have the new machine recognize the old
smbpasswd file?   Both machines are aix 6.1 and Samba version 3.5.12.   I
copied all of the .tdb files but that didn't seem to work.   The new
machine does not seem to know what is in
/usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd.  Below is my smb.conf

Thanks,
