samba - May 2005 - Can I tranfer my samba data to ldapsam from tdbsam?

I am using tdbsam to authenticate my samba server. I want to go to a 
PDC/BDC model using ldap. Can I transfer my info from tdbsam file to the 
ldapsam file you pdbedit?

yes, thats what the "pdbedit -i tdbsam:/path/to/your/passdb.tdb -e
ldapsam:ldap://localhost" facility was done for.

Hope that helps,

First you must migrate the POSIX accounts to LDAP, then you can use pdbedit to 
migrate the SambaSAM accounts from tdbsam to ldapsam.

Scripts for migrating the POSIX accounts are available from www.padl.com.
