[Feature]: Import passwords as NTLM hashes

[aovestdipaperino]

I've been using dperson/samba which has a function to import smb passwd database. Since I think setting the Unix password to be the same shouldn't be necessary, I was wondering if it's possible to add the ability to import the users from the smb passwd export file.
Relevant code:

    while read name id; do
        grep -q "^$name:" /etc/passwd || adduser -D -H -u "$id" "$name"
    done < <(cut -d: -f1,2 $file | sed 's/:/ /')
    pdbedit -i smbpasswd:$file

This will make moving passwords around a tiny bit safer. I can probably help if there is interest

I don’t have a need for the feature but if you or others would find it useful, it could be added.
