i'm sort of in the same boat as you but imagine a dozen smbpasswd based
servers.
read up through chapter 4 in LDAP systems adminstation. then read the
openldap 2.3 systems administrator guide. then read samba3 by example
and then the samba howto.
you'll need to use the PADL tools to migrate your /etc/passwd users to
ldap. just google search on how to use the PADL tools, there are plenty
of resources. once you can get linux shell users to log in, start on
the samba part.
create a test system with some spare PCs or VMWare or Microsoft Virtual
PC 2007.

Hi folks,
I have a small network running Samba 3.0.2 / Mandrake - everything is
working fine with all winXP and 98 stations happy :)
As a lot of users depends on this server, I want to install a BDC server in
order to have a backup server.
The SAMBA3-HowTo suggests that the best way is to install a LDAP
authentication but my current authentication is smbpasswd.
As I can't do those changes on the production server, risking my current
installation, what is the best strategy to install a new server and import
my current user/group configs?
Thanks in advance,
Josir Gomes
