[Samba] samba - what happens if I say local master = No for samba 3

I think you will need to go machine by machine anyway because you are
changing the domain name.  I always like the idea of doing a clean install
and then moving what "needs" to be moved.  Like you said, 60 users isn't
that bad.  How many workstations, same amount?
