I cave an question regarding to pdb_ interface.
in 2.2 pdb_nisplus code I translated some strings from dos to unix and vice-versa. this translation helped to manage information correctly from windows side and from unix side. now unix_to_dos and dos_to_unix calls are gone in 3.0, what should I do? is this translation needed at all in 3.0? toomas Andrew Bartlett wrote: > > I figured I might just jot down some ideas for the future of the passdb > subsystem, as well as some of the more immediate todo items: > > Actually use the 'unload' passdb code.
