LDAP backend

[KFuerstberger at haitec.de]

Hai,

You have to manually add the machine account in the LDAP Database with
minimal Entries. Then, you can do an smbpasswd as done to set the missing
Entries. With the latest cvs I think the rid is set right but the acctFlags
are not set to "[W        ]"
