  I only dabbled with that, so I can't speak to it.  I'll take your
word for it.  :)

  Yah, the TDB implementation doesn't scale well at all.  It is a
"trivial database", after all.  Using a "real" database backend is
recommend for anything beyond a couple dozen users.  I believe LDAP
and some of the SQLs are both options.

  That I find to be an odd statement.

  I never had to redo much with Samba.  I generally found it pretty
easy to track most stuff.  The config is in a text file that can be
easily put under revision control.

  I find that in stark contrast to MS Windows, where everything is
hidden in the registry, and it's a common practice to nuke the *entire
OS* to fix problems.

  I certainly won't argue that having *more* SMB/CIFS implementations
out there wouldn't be a good thing!  :-)
