A mouth full the title. But that's the question.
A friend of mine is changing his farther's company from NT to linux. ( yahooo!)
Anyhow he needs to make the transistion as easy for the users as possible. That means no making everyone lose their current mail and no making everyone go and redo their password and such.
So he needs either to get a utility to move the user list and such. Or to use the NT box as a authantication server. I see that LDAP and such does this quite well. And there might even be a NIS server for NT (god knows why...). But i don't know if these allow SMTP and POP to work and whether the users can recive their mail alright. He's expecting only POP mail and a few samba shares. So anyhow that's the clux of the problem.
Thanks in advance!
