[Samba] Samba LDAP Tools and mkntpwd
I'm in the middle of Samba 3.0.9 == 3.0.14a migration testing. Because I'm using newer tools, I am also using a newer verions of the Samba LDAP Tools. My older version, 0.8.4, used the 'mkntpwd' utility to generate NT passwords. The new version, 0.9.1 defaults to using (what looks like) a Perl module called Crypt::SmbHash. My questions: Do I need to continue to use mkntpwd? Will I need to reset all the passwords for my users if I move to Crypt::SmbHash? Or will it just work if I leave the defaults alone? -- Kevin L.

I think that an smb hashed password is going to be an smb hashed password regardless of the tool used to create it. Otherwise, how could the Windows user log in?

One is a perl port of the C routines, while the older mkntwpd is just that particular C file compiled standalone. If the perl code does the unicode translation right, it might even be more accurate for non-ASCII.
