samba - Apr 2003 - Samba to Samba + LDAP script

Does anyone have a script to migrate from the smbpasswd file to Samba with
LDAP as the authentication source?

Thanks in advance...

try to use 'pdbedit' that comes with the samba package.

there is an option to import an 'old' smbpasswd-file into the new
auth-source.

try this (it works perfectly for me) but you MUST have configured the LDAP
stuff in the smb.conf file and set the bind-pw for the LDAP server with
smbpasswd (please see the manpage for the correct switch to make it).

pdbedit -i /path/to/old/smbpasswd

thats all. for every imported or ignored entry you get an output from
pdbedit.
