[Bug 575] Need newer Samba-Version to enable LDAP-Support
http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=575

One problem we have to deal with is
To Add an samba account for the samba workstations, we need to use either the
ldap admin user, or the smbadmin account.
To use the ldap admin user we either need to build some kind of web-interface
(webmin?), or a command line interface.
We could use the smbadmin account, but to do that, we need to decode the file
secret.tdb, which holds the smbadmin passwd somewhat encoded. Previously the
password has been decoded using tdbdump utility, which p.t. is not included in
the samba package. One workaround is to store the password in cleartext
somewhere, making sure that the file is only readable by the root account.
Finally to join a workstation to the domain we need use the root account to be
able to join the domain. This is even true if we already has added the account,
by adding a posixAccount, and by using smbpasswd -a -m <machinename>
