SUMMARY: [Samba] samba/ldap - smbpasswd/userdelete

[Ken Kleiner]

Well, I think I have my answer.

Instead of embedding the samba ldap entries into the same record that
the posix/unix stuff is in, I created another ou for sambausers and point
samba to that.  Deleting the user now just deletes samba entry.

Phew.
