[Samba] Use LDAP for passwords ONLY

[Gaiseric Vandal]

If you have an existing LDAP structure, there will still be a separate 
field for the Windows password.

For samba 3.x,  you can specify either an local backend or an ldap 
backend.  You can not specify some attributes in ldap but not 
others.     If you want to set up Samba to use LDAP backend you will 
need to have some admin privileges to on the LDAP server.
