The set_password method on Samba::LDAP::User builds user's DN based on
the uid and the usersdn setting from smbldap.conf, which doesn't work
for hierarchical LDAP deployments.
Developers should be able _at least_ to specify the object DN in the
args hash passed to the method. Please find attached a patch for User.pm
which implements this functionality while still retaining the assumption
that user are all under $self->{usersdn}
Thanks for your time,
Jose
