samba - Oct 2003 - Migrating from Samba 2.2 smbpasswd to Samba 3 LDAP

Hi there,

Does anyone have any experience with this? I was wondering about importing
data from a Samba 2.2 smbpasswd file to a Samba 2.2 style LDAP and then
using some perl scripting to update the schemas to samba 3. However there
isnt really much info about migrating user data and stuff from smbpasswd to
LDAP at all.. Somewhere there must be a nice howto or something ;)

Cheers

Tom

There is already a conversion script.  See

See the pdbedit manpage for exporting and importing
databases.
