[Samba] openldap authentication

I have an existing openldap schema which is handling mail, web and ftp
services right now.  I am trying to get a windows machine talking to the
same filesystem as apache on linux via samba and read/write using the
correct uid/gid.  I was trying to shy away from using pam_ldap as there is
no need to tie the user in ldap directly to the filesystem.  The problem is
it looks like the samba ldap module requires a specific ldap schema to
function, whereas currently I map needed functionality to the ldap schema
as depicted below

# fxmulder at nsab.us, gwis
dn: cn=fxmulder at nsab.us,dc=gwis
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: posixAccount
accountid: 65534
uidNumber: 65534
gidNumber: 65534
active: 1
cn: fxmulder at nsab.us
loginShell: /usr/sbin/nologin
sn: nsab.us
wenable: 1
wpass: testpass
whome: /www/nsab.us/nsab.us/fx/fxmulder

I don't suppose there is a similar way to map attributes with samba?

Thanks,
James Devine
