[Samba] ldap smbpasswd

[Alexei Monastyrnyi]

I'm using script smbldap-usermod -a >username>, which creates SAMBA 
attrs for existing POSIX account...
It is from smbldap-tools kit.
After that smbldap-passwd <username> is good for syncing UNIX and SAMBA 
passwords.

Had to tweak the script a bit cause it creates displayName attribute as 
"System User" which is no good...
