[Samba] How to update Samba changing installation paths

[Antonio Trogu]

I have several Samba AD DCs, most of them installed with Sernet packages, 
while some others with Samba compiled with the default options (that is, 
in /usr/local/).

I want to update the Sernet installations replacing them with the compiled 
version, but I'd like to move them to have Samba in the same path on all 
my servers. How can I achieve this? Is it sufficient to uninstall the 
Sernet package, move smb.conf in /usr/local/samba/etc/, all the content of 
/var/lib/samba/private/ in /usr/local/samba/private/ and then install the 
compiled version with the default options?

Thanks,

Antonio
