I have no idea, normally a standalone server only needs the smbd & nmbd 
deamons running, but you had lines in your smb.conf that needed winbind 
to have any affect.

I take it that you have copied everything from /var/lib/samba on the old 
computer to /var/lib/samba on the new one.

After that, I am lost, smbd & winbind haven't changed that much since 
3.6, just minor changes, not enough to stop you finding your users.
