This is just a note for people who prefer using system/redhat-config-athentication to editing authentication related config file by hand. The context is Fedora 3, samba-3.0.14a-1, and smbldap-tools-0.8.8-1.
The SambaGuide for setting up Samba with LDAP says to use "pam_password exop" in ldap.conf, but it is not possible to set this via system/redhat-config-authentication. If you edit ldap.conf by hand and subsequently use the config tool, it will clober your setting, replacing it with either "pam_password md5" or "pam_password crypt" depending on whether you tick the "Use MD5 Passwords" box or not.
Whether this is a real problem I don't know. The guide published by the IDEALX guys for setting up Samba+LDAP runs with "pam_password md5", so it must work in a fashion. At this point in time I don't know enough about LDAP to say what exop buys you compared to md5.
