Did you search the archive for THIS group? It has been answered many
times, I think once a couple days ago and at least once myself ;).
These all take for granted that you have a working LDAP tree for system
level auth, can sucessfully run an smbpasswd -a <username> command and
that the system works for LDAP based samba auth.
Look into the pdbedit command options, with the import and export
flags. There is also a flag to specify where your source is coming
from, if not the 'default', for example, if you have your old smbpasswd
file in /home/me/stuffnottodelete/smbpasswd. This will suck the data
out of the file and modify your posix user accounts in LDAP to include
samba attributes. Sorry I can't tell you the exact syntax ATM, since I
am away from my servers.
