[Samba] NT username/password export

[Chris McKeever]

Thanks for those utiltiies...I knew i saw them somewhere...I was successful
in creating a smbpasswd file using the pwdump utility..

Now here is my question (maybe someone know a work around):

If a username/password pair exists in the smbpasswd file...is there a way
that the corresponding username/UID pair does not need to exist in the
passwd file?  I guess what I am hoping for is a way samba can just
autheticate off of the smbpasswd file so I dont have to script out a useradd
based on that pwdump file.

Thanks
Chris

There are two ways of doing this that I'm aware of: pwdump and net rpc
vampire. The former is an exe that runs on the domain controller and
dumps out (I think) a smbpasswd-format file, the latter uses similar
methods to BDC synchronization to extract the information. pwdump
should turn up in any halfway decent google search, and net rpc
vampire is part of the current CVS.
