samba - Mar 2005 - account migartion from NIS and Smbpasswd to LDAP

Hi,

I've tried "smbldap-migrate-unix-accounts" to migrate NIS account
into
LDAP. It is a great tool. There is no problem if he/she authenticate 
from Linux machine with his old NIS account. But I found that I need to 
run smbldap-passwd to give a new passwd so that he/she can authenticate 
from windows machine. Does anyone has a better solution about it?

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.

So by your subject line it appears that you have a smbpasswd file 
someplace.  You can use the pdbedit command with import and export flags 
to move the relevant fields over to ldap.
