NT and UNIX

A bit off topic,

We're purchasing an NT box. We decided to go with a p2 266 with dual
processors, 2 four gig fast wide scsi with cacheable controllers set for
raid, and 512meg ram,

We are going to use this as a mail box.

I need to come up with a way to move unix style passwords into nt
passwords. I've got two months before implementation....

HALP! =)

Understand we are told by Microsoft there is no way to import the
passwords. I'm hoping they are wrong... over 4000 passwords

We're using linux 2.0.29 with shadow password system.

Some ideas we're tossing over...

running a sniffer... not my favorite
manually cracking the the password file
retyping all those usernames and passwords..

probabally turn out to a mix of all of the above.

Any ideas are appreciated...
