pdb interface

[Vince Brimhall]

I've been working on making modifications to the ldap passdb backend to
provide an increased level of integration with Novell Directory
Services (NDS).

I'mlooking for a way to have NDS updated for login success/failure for
Samba
logins. I've been unable to figure out how to accomplish this with the
existing
passdb interface and would like to propose adding a function to the
interface
that would allow passdb backends to act on the result of Samba's
authentication.

Could you comment on the possiblity of adding the following function or
something
similar to the interface?

   NTSTATUS (*pdb_update_login_attempts)(struct pdb_context *context,
				SAM_ACCOUNT *sam_acct, BOOL success);

Of course if I've missed a way that it can be done with the existing
code I'd be
grateful for that information as well.

Regards
