status of LDAP support

Hi,

Have you read Luke's warning? You maight want to take this into
consideration if you want to do this:

Sorry, can't help you there :-). Anyone?

You only want to do this if you want the latest fileserving code
(from the main branch) and the domain controller code (from the
tng branch). If you want to do NT domain control you will have to
use TNG. You don't have to use smbd main if you can live with a
somewhat older version.

The smbd from the main branch is altered to work with tng. If you
want a mixed environment, you have to use the cvs main version.
I don't know if this is any different if you use tng as a PDC
for authentication only.
