samba - Aug 2004 - LDAP and Password Values

I remain unclear regarding Samba and LDAP.
It appears that mkntpwd is required to generate a viable sambaNTPassword and 
sambaLMPassword attribute values. But I believe I read that the current 
incarnation of smbpasswd can accomplish this. Lastly, when utilzing 
phpLDAPadmin, do the NT and LM password fields contain the values generated 
by mkntpwd?

No.

Yes,  this is all done via the PDB backend.

phpLDAPadmin might implement it's own mechanism.  Generating an NT hash
is a documented thing.
