Keeping the database is not really a problem, all you need to do is 
setup another computer, compile Samba on this, then join this as a 
secondary DC, transfer the FSMO roles and then demote the first DC. This 
way you can configure Samba just as you like. The main problem you have 
trying to do it your way is, you don't know just how Sernet configures 
Samba, try running './configure --help' in a Samba tarball to see the 
long list of available options.

A secondary benefit of compiling Samba into the default 
/usr/local/samba, all the examples on the Samba wiki are relevant to 
your setup.
