AFAIK no. I think it would not be possible without disabling password
encryption, which would also mean he'll have to do without a lot of
other things.
I'm doing it the other way round, i.e. using Samba as my authentication
engine and let any other service authenticate through pam_smb. Then I
use nss_ldap to complete the thing.
