I don't know of an off the shelf solution, but it would be possible if
using the external DB and a custom ODBCUSER.DLL:
1.) Batch add all users with ADDUSER.EXE and the stock ODBCUSER.DLL
using the 'crypt'ed Unix password.
2.) Switch to the modified ODBCUSER.DLL
The modified ODBCUSER.DLL would 'crypt' new passwords before storage and
compare a crypted version of the test password to the crypted password in
the external DB. I've done something similar before as a test, but never
a production version.
