You don't add plugins to the samba package, it is built with them enabled.
I suppose that makes the term 'plugin' a little misleading.

Are you really trying to get Samba 2.2 compatibility?  I don't believe that
ldapsam is built in by any major distributions.  In order to get ldapsam
support you would need to grab a source rpm, edit the compile options and
rebuild.  Yes you could just build from source entirely, but lets not go
there.

If you are just looking to use the 'standard' ldap backend, change your
option to ldap instead of ldapsam.  This is the one that new installations
should be going for.
