It would be nice if you tell us something, as me and others have
discussed that as well for long.

For the particulare instance I'd say Volker minimalist approach is not
enough.

1. smbpasswd would be better if died :-))
2. tdbsam should be able to use the local idmap as well a remote map
(not necessarily trough ldap, but ldap must be one of the possible means
of comunication imho).
