it is support with samba compiled with ldap support .. but however there seem 
to be some troubles with it .. the user is forced to change the password but 
smbd has some problem when trying to get the gid of the use (always returns 
-1, and then smbd dies)  until the profile is not loaded .. however the user 
is able to change the password later ..
