[Samba] tdbsam to ldapsam

[Charles Hamel]

1) Good
2) No users here, this is just the secret that samba needs to know in 
order to complete its tasks, it already has the DN in smb.conf
3) You can use pdbedit as mentionned in this HOWTO : 
http://www.5of5.com/howto/howto-nt42samba3ldapmigration.html
OR you can use the smbldaptools package from www.idealx.org, they 
included a script named smbldap-migrateusers.pl and 
smbldap-migrategroups.pl which does exactly what you want to do ;)
4) Check the DN of the root user or the manager as you entered it in 
slapd.conf, check if it's the same in smb.conf in the ldap admin dn 
parameter.
5) I have the same question, can anybody complete ?

Have fun
