Samba-combined and LDAP

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

argh, of course.

smbd tries to authenticate against the password database API, which of
course will only be private/smbpasswdd on your system.

i patched smbd in SAMBA_TNG so that it always asks netlogond, it never
accesses the private/smbpasswd or LDAP database directly.

however, i need to come up with a scheme that can do _both_ these things,
so that by default, samba will acccess the private/smbpasswd or auth-db
API and if MSRPC services are enabled it will ask netlogond.

sorry, there's not much that can be done about that right now.

for now, i suggest that you set up _two_ samba servers: one as a PDC
[SAMBA_TNG], and the other one , samba-main, as your file-server, as a
_member_ of the SAMBA_TNG domain.
