So if the passdb backends is designed with support for searching 
(non casesensitive) that could be the best solution? 
(and much faster than /etc/passwd :) )

This should work fine in the cases where smbpaswd is used today (encrypted
password).

For unencrypted passwords one could have a module "unix_pwd" or so, which
would utilize the search method described earlier. [This should also be
true for other data sources which are case sensitive].
