samba - Sep 2007 - Migrating to LDAP

Can anyone point me to a guide on migrating Linux and Samba accounts to 
LDAP? I can only find part guides, and I can't figure out how to get the 
account data combined (without a lot of manual effort).

I can get the Linux accounts over no problems. I then tried to do 
"pdbedit -i tdbsam -e ldapsame -s /path/to/modified/smb.conf", but it 
only manages to stuff things up by skipping the real accounts and 
creating the system accounts (which I don't want).
I then tried clearing the LDAP data and doing the pdbedit thing first. 
But it still skips real users and just creates the systems accounts. It 
does say it created the real users, but they don't appear.

I don't really want to have to reset all the passwords and rejoin all 
the PCs to the domain... So I need a method of doing this.

	Check sambaldap-tools (smbldap-tools) from IdealX, it
probably has what you want. :-)   Ignaciou Coupeau tutorials
are also nice (even if they are somewhat out-of-date). And of
course, the Samba By Example and Samba Official HOWTO are the
best and official source of information about it.

	Kind regards,
