That is a *really* bad idea.  There is a SID, and you can find it out. 
Use the 'net' command from 3.0, it does not exist in 2.2.  There is also
an smbpasswd option I think.

If you want to keep your existing Samba 2.2 schema in LDAP, that is
supported.  Simply use ldapsam_compat, or configure --with-ldapsam
(which enables the compatibility modes by default)

If you want to move to the 3.0 schema, you will find that there is a
one-domain per LDAP subtree restriction, that is, all the machines
talking to those entries in LDAP must agree to be part of a single
domain.

Simply nominate a master box as PDC, and the rest as   There is no need
to have actual clients in the domain.
