As you said, smbpasswd has no group ID entries.
So even if I convert the smbpasswd file into /etc/passwd file, it will 
have no group IDs (or rather some group ID I pick).

And still there is a problem with creating /etc/group.

Without group info, files will have wrong permissions, which is not 
really a solution for me.

So I'm afraid I'll end up with some complicated ldapsearch/sed/awk script :(
