samba - Jun 2005 - creating local Windows users with Samba username/passwords?

Greetings,

I have a little project I am working on. I need to provide a IIS
server hosting ASP.NET pages for a new course. Since users will be
ftping their files to their web home on the IIS server I would like
them to have the same Linux and Windows password.

So the question is it possible to export  users/password from Samba and have
them created (imported) on Windows with the same password?

Thanks
Paul

Why not create a samba domain and have the IIS server as a member server
authing against the samba server?  Very simple and easily followed from the
samba guide on the nearest mirror samba site under documentation.
