Hash: SHA1

We used the pam_smbpasswd module, which does not work for either TDBSAM
or LDAPSAM I don't think. It's OK if you want to maintain an smbpasswd
file, but I think you really don't for more than X number of users and
I'm not sure how well it works with Active Directory (this was back
before AD was big that we were using Samba).

The way that that worked was to take advantage of other password
manipulation people had done (eg. authenticate successfully using
anything) and that that time the PAM module would get the unencrypted
password and write it using the proper hash for the new Samba auth
method. That is a pretty slick idea and if it does not exist for LDAP or
TDBSAM, I do wonder why not.
