I never said that, Implementing the LDAP doco and the IDEALX scripts are liable to trash already-implemented, well-working LDAP databases and Linux systems, that's all. I tried both, I found a working alternative which does neither. I wished to discuss that alternative. > We > will all be most pleased to receive an update or ammendment that may help > any other user.

I'm a Samba newbie (advancing fast, though) and realize my shortcomings. Be aware that implementing any suggestions I make will counter all installations made using the IDEALX scripts and independent (e.g. Coupeau's) doco. > > If the demands of posting to bugzilla are too much to ask, I am happy to > receive bug reports and updates, etc. via direct email. > > Please document your "corrections" and let's get on with life.
