I see in the source that it calls some pam_* functions (I'm not an 
expert...), so it should probably be documented in the man page.

The LDAP user entry contains both password used for unix (userPassword) 
and NT passwords (sambaNTPassword, sambaLMPassword) - can PAM modules be 
"stacked" to update all those fields? (if so, how? :) )

I still feel that installing pam_smb would not be a good idea since I'm 
authenticating on the FreeBSD machine just fine using only pam_ldap.
