smbpasswd -> /etc/passwd

[Rafał Szcześniak]

There's no script converting smbpasswd into passwd/shadow
because smb passwords are encrypted with different algorithm
than the unix passwd (both shadow and md5). So, direct converting
is almost impossible because it would have to work like
brute force attack...

The only way is to use samba 'unix sync password' feature.
To trace problem, you need more "rich" log files.

Is there any way (a script, black magic, etc) to convert smbpasswd 
passwords
to
either shadowed or md5'd passwords?  I know there's a "unix sync password"
option,
but this doesn't work for me in the latest TNG:

  getsmbfilepwent: returning passwd entry for unix user homey, unix uid
10042
  Password change for user: homey
  Dochild for user homey (uid=0,gid=0)
  expect: Input/output error
  Response 2 incorrect
  Child failed to change password: homey

Thanks,
Brian
