-These two scripts are modified versions of

A sample schema file (samba.schema) has been included for use
with OpenLDAP 2.0.x. The OIDs used in this file are owned by
Note that samba.schema relies upon the uid and uidNumber attributes
from the RFC2307 schema (i.e. nis.schema)

It is not a requirement that a user's /etc/passwd account
is stored in LDAP for the samba.schema file to work (although

The padl tools will leave you with LDIF files which you can import
into OpenLDAP. Before you can import them, you need to include
nis.schema and cosine.schema in your slapd.conf file.

-import_smbpasswd.pl
-----------------------
+The schema file has not been updated for the sambaSamAccount
+objectclass.
-Make sure you customize the local site variable in the perl script
-(i.e. ldapserver, rootdn, rootpw, etc...). The script reads from
-standard input and requires that user entries already exist
-in your directories containing the 'objectclass: posixAccount'
-value pair. For more information on this object and related schema,
-refer to RFC2307 and http://www.padl.com/software.html).
-The following will import an smbpasswd file into an LDAP directory

+-----------------
- $ cat smbpasswd | import_smbpasswd.pl

+objectclass.

+RedHat Directory Server /

+-------------------------
-export_smbpasswd.pl
-----------------------
+An *updated* schema file has been provided, plus a very useful script from
+Mike Jackson and Alyseo is available.
+ol-schema-migrate.pl can be used to migrate OpenLDAP schema files to FDS
+schema ldif files, it can also be used to validate the schema files to
+make sure no duplicate OIDs or malformed entries are found.
-Make sure you customize the local site variable in the perl script
-(i.e. ldapserver, rootdn, rootpw, etc...). You can then generate
-an smbpasswd file by executing
-
- $ export_smbpasswd.pl > smbpasswd
-
-NOTE: Server side (or client side) search limites may prevent
-all users from being listed. Check you directory server documentation
-for details.

+smbldap-tools/
+--------------
+The smbldap-tools have been removed from the samba svn
+tree. The latest version will continue to be included
+in Samba releases.
-The ldapsync.pl script requires a small command (smbencrypt)
-for generating LanMan and NT password hashes which
-can be found at ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/contributed/
+The smbldap-tools package can be downloaded individually from
