There won't be a schema any more. During the weekend I googled for Samba4 docs and subscribed to the tecchie list. What came up was enough to ensure that I'll keep my mouth shut about Samba4 and LDAP until they're there. There will basically probably be a complete LDAP and total database rethink (keyword is "ldb"). Unless people are *very* familiar with OpenLDAP's (2.2 and 2.3) meta backend and proxy concepts, unless the Samba crew is willing to do it all for one, one'd better forget everything one ever learned about integrating Samba and any present OpenLDAP DSE. The explanations I got from the above were, that time is moving on, NT4 (and therefore 2000) is at end of life, and Microsoft's support can be expected to terminate (or at least quickly ebb out). It's important that Samba fully supports the ADS concept of DC authentication and that's not possible with the present mumble_sam constellation.. Even when that is done, the docs I dug up say that the present state of Samba 4 technology will be where Microsoft was 10 years ago (which would take us back to Windows NT 3.5 and its antiquated technology, men skitt la gå). So either go out digging for docs to find out what is going to overwhelm you, or lie back and be prepared to let it do so ;) --Tonni -- mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.billy.demon.nl Eg er bergenser og, eg, men, Trondheims-ordfører Marvin Wiseth: «Bergenserne er flinke til å gjøre mye ut av lite» (uttalte seg over 17. mai feiringen iår, men gjelder sannsynligvis og dette mel mitt). -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
