[Samba] Fwd: getent group fails - fixed

Please note that Debian has *two* packages for nss-ldap:

mykerinos:/home/cperrier# apt-cache search nss ldap naming service
libnss-ldap - NSS module for using LDAP as a naming service
libnss-ldapd - NSS module for using LDAP as a naming service

IIRC (but you probably want to check this), the latter is more
actively maintained than the former.
