Passwd with a smbldap backend appears to work fine. I changed password  
of my test user, and then compared the new password with the LDAP  
user's userPassword, sambaNTPassword, and sambaLMPassword, and they  
all match... :)

So even though test.php says that we need mhash, it looks like the  
existing code is being successfully interpreted by php53 as is.
