I'm not sure I _really_ understood what you want, but using some of the famous migration script, you can create your new LDAP database in a few minutes, them you need to tell Samba to start using the new backend (LDAP) instead of the old backend (smbpasswd file). volker gave some hints on how to do this (using pdbedit and a separate config file) and i'll try that as soon i have compiled a version of pdbedit with ldapsam support included ... as soon i got this done i'll report in case someone else may search the archives ;-) regards markus +-+ | Markus Krause, Mogli-Soft | | Support for Mac OS X, Webmail/Horde, LDAP, RADIUS | | by order of the | |Computing Center of the Max-Planck-Institute of Biochemistry | +++ | E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Tel.: 089 - 89 40 85 99 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Fax.: 089 - 89 40 85 98 | | Skype: markus.krause | iChat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +++ -- This message was sent using https://webmail2.biochem.mpg.de If you encounter any problems please report to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
