Hi Markus,

well it's actually very close to what I want. The problem is that the
existing user passwords should be preserved. I don't want to create new
passwords for each user. Is it somehow possible to convert the encoded
password string in /etc/passwd to /etc/samba/smbpasswd?
As far as I know this isn't possible ... but I'm not a samba expert. I'd
be delighted to find out otherwise.
The encoded passwords can't be moved over directly, to the best of my
knowledge. I've never tried this before, but if I needed to so
something like this, I would try attacking my my /etc/passwd with John
the Ripper to get plaintext of most of the passowrds, then feed those
into smbpasswd (by script if theres enough to warrant it.)
