Im starting to read about this becouse i have to migrate a PDC nt4 to 
samba3. Do anyone have done this before?
I have 300 users + 300 machines NT4 like domain members. I have to 
migrate all the users, all the machine accounts and obviusly, the passwords.

I wrote chapter 9 of the book "Samba3 by Example" specifically for
your
situation. It was documented from a 4300 user migration I did.

Your specially reserved copy of this wonderful book is waiting for you at:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf

Please let me know if I have missed something, or if the documentations is not 
good enough.

hi,
this is much work but can be done and will work with samba , read the 
samba faqs and perhaps you should read Andrews book.
Try it first on a small test network to get closer to samba.
