Your wrong, and in all your searching apparently missed the many places 
that this is explicity stated.  Encrypted password support requires an M$ 
(lm or nt) crypt,  if your not using encrypted password support you have 
no use for samba-ldap as it just falls through to PAM/NSS.

Yes, but you have to either autheticate against samba (pam_smb) or use 
password sync.  Both options work fine.
