[Samba] SWAT with an LDAP Backend

[David Markey]

Actually i've created my own piece of software (based on phpLdapPasswd)
called phpSmbPasswd which uses smbpasswd as a backend. If anyone wants to
test it out give me a shout.
I was just wondering about SWAT, if LDAP isnt supported then the man pages
should be updated to communicate that fact.
