[Samba] replace winbind with ldap

[vishesh kumar]

Dear madars

   since linux server is already running in our enviroment then
why waste money on windows license too. Another reason is maintaining
multiple server is just wastage of resources if all purpose all be solved by
one linux server only

thanks
