I tried, but it doesn't work.
After adding "ldapsam:trusted = yes" to smb.conf (on a normal BDC PC), I 
had trouble starting smbd - it complained about nobody not found in LDAP 
or something like that.

After I "fixed" that, I could start smbd, but I'm not able to log in, 
and Samba logs "NO SUCH USER".

So I guess that I somehow have to fetch user/group info and convert it 
into /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
