Importing smbpasswd with pdbedit -i

[Jelmer Vernooij]

This is probably a 2.2-problem. The 2.2 pdbedit --import option works 
different than the one in HEAD. The 2.2 --import is a special function 
that tries to read smbpasswd like files while the HEAD --import option
uses the code from whatever backend you specify to it.
