we are planning to move to ldap within next 6 months -- depending on
time resources. so yes, there definitely will be at least one working
ldap backend:) We are currently useing NIS+ backend (2.2.1a + patches
from myself), most of smbpasswd entries are usable (like home_dir,
workstations, kick_t ... ). some of smbpasswd fileds are not used at
all, some are filled with data, but ... you know, samba pdc/bdc is not
finished jet.
