You know that no POSIX passwd info will come over don't you?  To do that the
samba passwd stuff would have to be cracked ond then put into SSHA or MD5
format.  Which the tools don't do.  So you will only get the samba passwd
and then if you are wanting to use other linux services that require POSIX
passwords you will need to use some of the password sync option s in
smb.conf.
