Cleaning up the initial samba passdb.tdb

Following on from the previous receipe: Bash, looping over stdin, here is a better method:

sudo pdbedit -L | cut -f1 -d: | grep -v nic | xargs -n1  sudo pdbedit -x<a href="http://stateless.geek.nz/2005/06/24/bash-looping-over-stdin/">

Remove all entries except for “nic”.
