[Samba] Converting existing POSIX accounts to sambaSAM accounts

Hi,

I have around 50 users whose POSIX accounts currently exist in a LDAP 
server. I have started running a Samba3 PDC recently and would like to 
convert these accounts into sambaSAM accounts. I know smbldap-usermod 
script does this. But I don't think it reads the defaults for 
sambaProfilePath, sambaHomePath etc. from 
/etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf file (which, by the way, is used 
cleanly by smbldap-useradd script).

Anybody who has done this yet? I would be setting out to modify the 
usermod script to handle this case (if nobody else has already done 
this and could lend me a copy of the modifications).

Regards,
Prakash
