NTLM LDAP synchronization

Hi all,

I was presented with an interesting problem today:

I have a Windows NT server that contains the user login IDs and
passwords. I need to extract or somehow synchronize the existing user
IDs and passwords with an external LDAP directory. I Googled around and
the best I could come up with was a HOWTO for installing LDAP and Samba
and getting both synchronized. The problem is that this HOWTO assumes
that there are no existing users and we are starting with a clean slate.
This is not the case I am facing now, where there are live users on the
NT server.

One way I can think of is cracking each password and adding them into
the LDAP, but besides the potential legal and ethical issues, this
manual method will break down when users change their passwords.

Novell has a solution for this called DirXML, but the solution I need to
come up with should be free, hopefully Open Source and not be from
dubious sources.

Does anyone know of an existing extraction or synchronization tool?

Thanks in Advance!
