[Samba] smbpasswd and RID values

[Gonzalo Servat]

Hi Andrew

This is version 2.2.3a

The error doesn't really bother me much as everything still seems to
work fine but the less errors in the log file the better :)

Another thing I noticed that I couldn't manage to create an LDIF file
for a samba-only user without having to use the posixAccount
objectclass. smbpasswd doesn't change the password for a samba-only user
with an error similar to "We couldn't find user <username>"

Once I added the posixAccount objectClass for the samba-only user with
the required attribute types (cn, uid, home directory, etc) it then
successfully changed the password for the user. Bug?
