[Samba] Samba as PDC, LDAP-based authentication for windows & linux clients

Greeting Patrick,

No just one LDAP directory work great for the Windows and Linux Client.

  I must admit that I don't success password change if your Samba+LDAP 
server use 'sambaPwdMustChange' attribute. Otherwise a simple script can 
change password for Linux client on LDAP.
