Two solutions:
1. Make your samba authenticate against the NT domain.
2. Run "smbpasswd" for each and every user.
There is no way to "convert" a Unix password file to an NT SAM user, or
vica versa. Both passwords are stored as one-way hashes - the only way
to find the passwords now is to "crack" them by running through every
possible password and finding a string that hashes to the same hashed
value.
Hope this helps.
