Maybe this does not help you, but I als had a strange change with F7.

The location of /etc/samba/smbpasswd moved to 
/var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd.

Replacing the example smbpasswd in /etc/samba with the old one, had 
absolutely no effect, as the samba server expects it's configuration 
file in this strange directory. It's strange as it's not in the 
configuration directory /etc. As a consequence, it's not enough to 
backup /etc for a system update.
