	Hmmm, sorry, but I can see how you want to accomplish that.
You are changing the backend, you need to tell samba about this.

	I'm not sure I _really_ understood what you want, but
using some of the famous migration script, you can create your
new LDAP database in a few minutes, them you need to tell
Samba to start using the new backend (LDAP) instead of the old
backend (smbpasswd file).
