Is there some automated system to import windows accounts into a samba
or a samba ldap situation?
I've got a few hundred users on an NT domain, and I'd like to migrate
them sometime before the last piece of hardware supported by NT4
rusts.
Right now several linux based samba servers are doing all of the heavy
lifting (shared files printers etc), but they are all looking at the
domain controller for authentication.
Considering the multiple vulns for NT, I know I could just run a
password cracker against it, then create new accounts for everyone
with their old passwords, but I'm reluctant to do that.
Is there a way to transfer the account info from the PDC to samba then
just shut the old thing off?
Thanks,
Kyle
I used a slick migration toolkit: http://sourceforge.net/projects/w2lmt/ Mit freundlichen Gr??en / With kind regards Hans-Wilhelm Heisinger Kyle Schmitt wrote:> Is there some automated system to import windows accounts into a samba > or a samba ldap situation? > > I've got a few hundred users on an NT domain, and I'd like to migrate > them sometime before the last piece of hardware supported by NT4 > rusts. > Right now several linux based samba servers are doing all of the heavy > lifting (shared files printers etc), but they are all looking at the > domain controller for authentication. > > Considering the multiple vulns for NT, I know I could just run a > password cracker against it, then create new accounts for everyone > with their old passwords, but I'm reluctant to do that. > > Is there a way to transfer the account info from the PDC to samba then > just shut the old thing off? > > Thanks, > Kyle >

I have used it before with Samba and OpenLDAP. It works well. We set up the Samba machine as a domain controller. We migrated the user and machine information. We shut down the NT machine and we were good to go. Have a look at Chapter 9 of Samba by Example. It is available at www.samba.org. Be sure to set up a test environment before trying to migrate your production data.
