[Samba] Sync Unix passwords when not PDC

[Pablo Alcaraz]

Set security = domain  (read the documentation about it).

Before you need to create the windows accounts. You have 2 choices:

- Do it yourself: Create 1 linux account for each windows account. Set 
the password to something (it is not matter because this password is 
never used by samba).

- Let to winbind create the accounts for you.

Each methods has good and bad things.
