samba - May 2004 - AD UID association

Hi,
 
            I'm planning a migration from a Microsoft Exchange Server to
Linux+Sendmail+Samba. There are thousands of users in AD that should login via
POP3 to receive their messages. It's working perfectly but I'll have to
login each user so winbind could create UID association for each one of them
(actually I'm doing it with wbinfo -a user%password). Of course I'll try
not to reset all the passwords to accomplish this but I can't find a way to
do the association stuff without the password....
Is there anyway to do it?
 
Thanx in advance,
Gustavo Papal?o

The SID->UID association is created the first time it's needed. 
'getent
passwd' is a really fast way to create a lot of them ;-)

Actually, calling wbinfo -a should not create the association at all, so
I'm not sure exactly what you mean.
