Thank all of you for your answers. As Jerry suggested, I'll hook up with
the samba-technical list to have more comments on the ongoing samba4
development.

Samba 4 does include its own LDAP Directory service and
Heimdal based KDC. The reasons for this are to get a working
implementation up and running. Later efforts will probably
focus more on integration of other 3rd party pieces
this means, that samba4 has it's own build in ldap server which is
neither OpenLDAP nor Fedora Directory Server?
Yes. Written from scratch.
this seems to me a bit of waste of resources:-(
Initially attempts were made to integrate with the OpenLDAP
code. That turned into a roadblock for all AD development.
So rather than block everything else, Samba 4 needed an LDAP
server that would let developers experiment and find out if
what they were working on was even possible. So bypassing
the OpenLDAP code was a necessary hack.
Now another goal of Samba 4 is easier setup. So tridge
things that a turn key solution is better than requiring
Samba 4 admins to be kerberos and LDAP experts is important.
But like I said, if you want to find out more, should you
really take it up on samba-technical. You'll have a much
broader audience there rather than just me or possible
Andrew Bartlett.
cheers, jerry
