[Samba] Win2K Password Hash

[Robert Rati]

I have installed nss_ldap and changed my nsswitch.conf file to be like 
the example given with the nss_ldap package, so I thought that would 
satisfy the samba requirement.  Is there other system configuration that 
needs to be done (other than changing nsswitch.conf) to satisfy this 
samba requirement?  All the information I've found regarding setting up 
LDAP in this regard has been sketchy at best.  I would think I'd have to 
configure a base dn atleast, but I haven't found out how to do this.
