Presumably, you're trying to avoid a proper setup:

If you already have LDAP authentication and NSS set up, and you don't 
want to add Samba related attributes to your directory, you'd need to 
disable "encrypt passwords" in smb.conf and modify the Windows registry 
so that it sends your passwords in plain text:

Needless to say, the security of this configuration is awful, but not 
worse than if you're using OpenLDAP without SSL.
