Ok, two variations on a theme.
1) install the new machine as a member server
2) run the new machine in security = server
I've done the latter: build a new samba and
point it at the old one (Samba or NT) as the
authentication server.
Then use "valid users" to controll who can
log in where, as you migrate people's files
from machine to machine.
