Adding the posixAccount stuff didn't make a difference... :-(

But it's true that i don't have user accounts for those people, i just
want to use virtual users stored in an ldap.

If i make a posixAccount entry and i try to add the users using
smbpasswd -a , it says that the user is not present in the /etc/passwd
file. 

If i use -U it give the same old error.
