This isn't really the place to ask such questions, you should have
asked on the samba mailing list, but:

You could try adding 'ldap passwd sync = yes' to your smb.conf file.

I should also point out that your setup will require you to use SMBv1,
which is very insecure and Samba is working to remove it. I would
suggest you upgrade your old NT4-style domain to an AD domain.
