[Samba] danger in using pdbedit

[Gary Dale]

There is an old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" LDAP is more 
flexible than tdbsam and since you have it working, why switch? However, 
if you insist on doing it, keep the LDAP backend until you are sure the 
tdbsam backend is working.

Please note that you will likely want to switch back to LDAP at some 
point, so don't say I didn't warn you!  :)
