[Samba] Converting smbpasswd from Samba-2.0 to Samba-2.2 ?
Hi, I have a smbpasswd file from a Samba-2.0.x, generated with pwdump2 [1] . I'm in a NT-PDC to Samba-PDC migration. The documentation says that it generates Samba-2.0 style smbpasswd file [2]. But I would like to use the smbpasswd on a Samba-2.2.x machine. I've read that smbpasswd format changed . Is there a tool to convert smbpasswd from 2.0 to 2.2 ? I cannot find one. Any URL or HOWTO will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The formats are compatible, samba-2.2.x might make small adjustments if it finds a 2.0.x file (I don't quit remember, but we didn't have any issues migrating from 2.0.7 to 2.2.0 on our productio DC).
