That looks good, and it suggests that the slapd config is
OK. Now try this:

ldapsearch -h ldap.server -x -b dc=dominio,dc=com,dc=br -s base '(objectclass=*)'

If you get an entry, then try:

ldapsearch -h ldap.server -x -b dc=dominio,dc=com,dc=br '(objectclass=*)'

If you see lots of data then there is probably nothing wrong
with the LDAP server at all.

Ignore Samba for now. You need to get the basic Unix-level
stuff working first.

It would be best to use an LDIF made with slapcat just
before the upgrade. If you don't have one then you may need
to copy your database files onto a machine running the same
versions of software that the server had before the upgrade,
and make an LDIF there.
