Every Samba-User must have a Unix-Account, but you can manage Local- and 
Sambaaccounts in one LDAP-Tree.

In the most Samba-LDAP-PDC-HowTo's you can read, that you have to 
authenticate the Unix AND the Samba by one LDAP-Tree.
The LDAP-Tree manage every Unix and Samba-Account in one container.

Please look at this:

I use the web-based-Software LAM (http://lam.sourceforge.net/) to manage 
my 500 Unix- and Sambaccount Users.
