Samba on CentOS

[Bob Elzer]

Well I went from centos 5 to 6 and copied over my smb.conf and 
everything worked fine
I can't remember if I copied over the smb passwords or just created them 
again with smbpasswd, but I have not used tdbedit, so I didn't realize 
that it is the preferred method now. And now that I've looked at it, 
smbpasswd is still supported, but I don't know for how long. :P
