Hi,

you should definitely take a look into the official Samba-3 HOWTO.
http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

there is a separate part about migration and updating.

you should also read about the "Account Information Databases" in 
part-III/chapter 10, as this is importand to reuse your old smbpasswd or 
passdb.tdb file.

good luck ;-)
Joerg
