This is a quick and dirty means of storing smbpasswd entries
in LDAP. Samba 2.2.x does not have any ability to grab
this information directly from LDAP so you will need to
periodically generate an smbpasswd from an ldapsearch
"(objectclass=smbPasswordEntry)".
Be aware of search limits on your client or server which prevent
all entries from being returned in the search result.
This is a quick and dirty means of converting smbpasswd entries
to sambaAccount entriues in an LDAP directory.
