What we did here was setup a transparent capture of passwords when users 
logged into one of our popular services.

We then took the captured passwords and populated a second attribute in 
the LDAP directory with them (ntPassword).

Now all operations involving a change of users passwords write the SSHA 
form of the password and the NT Hash form of the passwords, which is 
nice because it means we can hang Samba off our OpenLDAP server too :)
