Hi Andrew, Thanks a lot for your answer!
I understand your point. This is actually the way I want to go. But before doing so, I need to migrate my users from /etc/passwd to LDB. I'd like to do it without letting them know and a need to ask them to change their password. Do you think it's possible to do it?
