I'm not sure that there's a mechanism to tell smbpasswd that the LDAP user 
already exists, but without Samba attributes.  Since smbpasswd is probably 
just generating an LDIF and dumping it onto the server instead of using much 
logic, you'll probably either have to do smbpasswd -a first and then write your 
own changeType: MODIFY LDIF for POSIX, or use something (like LAM) that does 
both.
