yes I think it would matter. You could configure samba to use PAM so
that it can use LDAP too but last I checked you had to disable password
encryption in samba to use PAM, which means disabling password encryption
on ALL the clients as well.

a better solution would be to tie samba directly into LDAP. I have a guide
for samba-tng and LDAP but not generic samba, I think the samba docs have
info on how to integrate samba with LDAP, been almost a year since I
tried regular samba with LDAP though I don't remember.

my docs are here:

http://howto.aphroland.de/HOWTO/LDAP

(as mentioned above they are for samba-tng specifically and openldap)
