	Hmmm, AFAICT, no. It should still find the password server
if everything is in the proper place and with the right parameters.

	If you want to have PDC/BDC strategy, one of the server
will also need the ldap parameters and a slight differect smb.conf,
there are advantages in having slave LDAPs (fast lookups) but there
also disavantadges (more LDAPs to keep in sync when doing some
maintainance).
