| 	Hi!. Since now, I was using a Workgroup with samba 2.2, and samba
| was using  /etc/passwd for user accounts (plain text passwords). Now I'm
| migrating to  LDAP, and I'm looking for a way to migrate the passwords
| without every user typing the password again..
|     It seems that idealix's scripts (smbldap-migrate-accounts.pl) will
| migrate from a previous NT based PDC.. but it's not my case.
|     Any suggestion? Thanks!

There are the openldap-migration scripts from www.padl.com, they should
do the trick. Then there are some scripts in samba/scripts (exact
location may differ) with which you could migrate your smbpasswd file.
I did it with this tools.

Good Luck!
