Samba 3.x comes with a migration tool designed to pull user and machine information from NT 4.0. 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. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
