[Christian Perrier]

The mksmbpasswd call has been dropped in Debian 2:3.6.5-2. So that
should make it in Ubuntu one day or another

Title:
  Samba automatic account creation assumes local accounts

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  Samba's mksmbpasswd, called from samba postinst, should not create
  accounts if the passwd or shadow line of /etc/nsswitch.conf contains
  "ldap" (or in that case, anything other than "compat" or "files")

  It tried creating hundreds of user accounts that were from LDAP.

  If nsswitch.conf is using LDAP, there is a VERY HIGH CHANCE that Samba
  will be using LDAP as well, and therefore smbpasswd is unnecessary.
