samba - Jan 2006 - Single sign on with SambaPDC and web server

We are using SambaPDC-LDAP and we have a Web Interface using PHP to our 
database.  I have asked our developer to come up with a way to use the 
password stored in LDAP so we would have the same login throughout our 
site.  He told me that after a day of looking he couldn't figure out how 
to translate the Username and Password into the SambaNTPassword or the 
LM password on the LDAP server.  I was wondering if anyone here could 
point me in the direction for howto's on this. 
I thought it was a fairly simple md5 hash of the username and password 
but apparently not.

Thanks in advance.

I'm quite sure that you can find the code in phpldapadmin as that is
capable of creating the hashed password. Also - a google for mkntpasswd
would likely give you a 'c' program to do the same

The smbldap-tools contains smbpasswd which will change all 3 paswords. 
That is probably the best and easiest way to work with the passwords.
