[Samba] smbpasswd database is corrupt!

I added myself into OpenLDAP and deleted my user account from 
/etc/passwd.  Now samba complains in the log file:

Jan 25 10:17:56 roark smbd[2767]:   build_sam_account: smbpasswd 
database is corrupt!  username awilliam with uid 511 is not in unix 
passwd database!

however, I'm resolving my awilliam with nss_ldap, so I can ssh and su -l 
awilliam fine.  so shouldn't samba be able to get the user awilliam w/ 
uid 511 out of ldap via nss_ldap instead of looking for it directly in 
/etc/passwd?
