[Samba] Samb a 3.0.5 LDAP Question

[Jeff Saxton]

I figured most of the stuff out last night :)
One thing that I still haven't been able to figure out is how to
initially generate the sambaSID
For each user. What is the best practice for this?

Minimal settings:
	  passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost
        ldap suffix = ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=com
        ldap admin dn = cn=root,dc=mycompany,dc=com

My settings:
        passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost
        ldap suffix = ou=sso,dc=juwimm,dc=local
        ldap machine suffix = ou=machines
        ldap user suffix = ou=users
        ldap group suffix = ou=groups
        ldap admin dn = cn=root,dc=juwimm,dc=local
        ldap passwd sync = Yes


> is is possible to use stored md5 passwords?

As far as I know it is not possible, samba uses ist own passwors which
are created in the ldap, when you run smbpasswd -a username
