Hi Jim,
Using simple authentication I have been able to tie FDS to Samba 3.x.24.
Knowing that the unix passwd and smb passwd are different, dare I ask
how difficult it would be to have them sync? Most of my users are using
netatalk w/ posix user info and MD5 password. I would like to swing this
over to samba without the worries of two passwords per user. I have seen
blips on this but not directly related to FDS
if you store both your samba and your unix password in the ldap, you can
get them in sync by updating both of them when one change its password.
You'll need to update the smb.conf file to take that into account for
the windows part, and update your other password changing apps accordingly.
If what you want is in fact getting a NTLM hash from the existing md5
hash, I'm afraid it won't be possible. Users will have to change their
password once to update both ntlm and md5 password hash.
Not entirely true, or at least it wasn't last time I tried this. For me,
I used a method that included a PAM module that, on successful auth
(actually, for HP-UX, any auth, which was unfortunate, since they have
no 'requisite' directive in PAM), populated the smbpasswd file.
I don't know what FDS is, but it seems to me you could go this route and
then convert the smbpasswd file to whatever you wanted via pdbedit.

I believe he's referring to Fedora Directory Server. I've tried this
once during the summer; it didn't feel very mature or seem to have too
much documentation.
