iihhhhhh... *thinks*.

for a SAM-database-that-is-our-own-LDAP-server, only one set of config
options are needed.

for a
SAM-database-on-a-remote-system-that-happens-to-also-use-LDAP-as-its-back-end,
we don't care what it uses, we use NT-style DCE/RPC functions.

_however_, for uid/SID and gid/SID resolutions, we use SURS.  that's
different.

so, potentially, these could be options in /etc/surs.conf.
