We need to first finalize the samba4 design, after that is given we can
start thinking the best way to map them, we could also theoretically add
a compatibility module to be able to read the samba3 passdb backends ...

Is there any document that describes these conflicts? I'm really
interested in such a document as I'm helping out shaping the ldap_server
and schemas and would like to have as much informations as possible.
