[Samba] Samba interface for administrative tools

[Rhys Goodwin]

Hey Guys, 
 It seems to me that the very best place to store all samba conf options is 
in the ldap dir. I got all excited when I was taking a look at the samab3 
schema and saw the sambaConfigOption objectclass, found out that is not 
implimented yet. Maybe Im being a bit narrow minded to assume that everyone 
is using an ldap back end? I like the idea of being able to whip up a very 
tidy windows based (MMC?) samba console and requiring only ldap connection 
to the server and be able to FULLY control samba. Perhaps smbd could be 
setup to be quite particular about when and how it would reaload options 
from the directory? 
 Hope Im not on a different wave length to the rest of you! :)
Cheers,
Rhys
