Keep in mind that you can still dump the SAM database via ActiveState Perl
w/Win32::Lanman modules to minimize the account transfer. Dump it to a text
file, and then use a script to create the UNIX/Samba accounts.

In any event, I've done this on a number of occasions, so drop me a line if
you need help.
