Thanks for those utiltiies...I knew i saw them somewhere...I was successful in creating a smbpasswd file using the pwdump utility..
Now here is my question (maybe someone know a work around): If a username/password pair exists in the smbpasswd file...is there a way that the corresponding username/UID pair does not need to exist in the passwd file? I guess what I am hoping for is a way samba can just autheticate off of the smbpasswd file so I dont have to script out a useradd based on that pwdump file.

There are two ways of doing this that I'm aware of: pwdump and net rpc vampire. The former is an exe that runs on the domain controller and dumps out (I think) a smbpasswd-format file, the latter uses similar methods to BDC synchronization to extract the information. pwdump should turn up in any halfway decent google search, and net rpc vampire is part of the current CVS.
