The same way that we already do with the ldap backend...from smb.conf.  The
result of this output, after running ldapadd/modify, should not be
substantially different than running net rpc vampire using ldapsam, except
that it will take a fraction of the time.

This is not meant to be a panacea, and a "generic" output doesn't solve
this problem whatsoever.  This is meant to improve the basic case, and more
complex cases require more intervention.  The benefit provided to these
more complex cases is that there is some kind of output that can be
massaged if need be.
