prefix_map module add operation fails to modify schema

[Anatoliy Atanasov]

Hi metze,

The approach we have implemented aims to emulate Windows behavior, where the Schema cache is updated after modification upon receipt of a schemaUpdateNow request. Initially we intended to implement a much simpler solution, but at SambaXP after some discussion with abartlet decided that
Windows behavior should be incorporated in samba. 

If we do not support the schemaUpdateNow request, a lot of DEA will not be able to be installed. 
I agree that we can go with your implementation and it's much simpler than what I've done. If there are no other comments I'll implement it right away.

Regards, 
Anatoliy

Hi Anatoliy,

missing.

A few things:

- The coding style doesn't match the rest of samba, please read
samba4/prog_guide.txt

- Your approach is a bit to complicated

Can you try to work based on the attached patch,
apply it with 'git am' on top of origin/v4-0-test
