question: samba file sharing with ldap user db without having "unix users"?

[Ben Gras]

All,

Suppose I want to build a file server that will let users share
their files using samba, but without requiring them having an entry
in a passwd file, to make adding & removing users a bit less
error/security-bug prone.. the samba server could set it's uid to
the uid in the ldap directory for that user to allow the FS to
seperate each other's files using uid's..

Building samba-2.2.2 --with-ldapsam stil requires a unix passwd file
entry, AFAICS..

Is there a better way?

Thanks :)
