Thanks, I will check smbldap-tools.

I have already users in LDAP. I know, it will be easy if there is a new 
user, then I will just use the same password in the values, but I need 
to sync the current encrypted password to SambaNTPassword, which uses a 
different algorithm. Or just reset and send a new password to the 
person, but if he wants to change it via ssh (passwd), it will change 
only the password, not the samba one.


As for crypt method: I meant "encryption algorithm". I am using SSHA 
passwords, not crypt.
