Re: Password conversion to lmpassword ntpassword

The best that we could think of (though we haven't yet implemented it -- 
we're hoping to do so soon) is to create a password-changing mechanism 
(webpage) that will reset all three (when the user enters the valid 
userPassword).  Then anyone who wants/needs to use samba 
shares/authentication will have to go reset their password.
