samba - Mar 2002 - Sync passwords with Oracle (off topic)

Hi. 

I run a NT4 PDC and have security = server on the samba server. 

I also run a billing system that uses an oracle DB. 

I would be very interested in syncing passwords between the NT4 PDC and the
oracle DB (oracle 8.1.5). Does anyone know of a way that I could achieve
this? 

Even possibly syncing between the samba server and the oracle Db would
suffice as I could then promote it to be the PDC in my network. 

Thanks

One possilbity is to store the SAM in the Oracle DB.  There is already
an initial mysql module (for HEAD), so it would not be *that* hard to
do.  Its also probably overkill.
