[Samba] pam_smbpass

Okay - I've got samba working as a PDC with and ldap backend.

I want to have some users not be in ldap (like the built in stuff like
cyrus, mail, lp etc)


I can get that to work with the pam_ldap and pam_unix but pam_smbpass 
doesn't seem to return user_unknown as i expect for users who are not in
the ldap database 

does this make sense?

         return PAM_USER_UNKNOWN;
     }

I don't think there should be any difference between these two bits of
code (and I've not yet tested it) but I don't understand why this is
failing...
