Yes, the "provision-backend" and "provision" scripts both ran with no problems.  One key thing (on this issue) that should
be noted to the users is that OpenLDAP must have all of the SASL libraries installed, and linked properly to the Berkeley BDB
backend, etc., or Samba and OpenLDAP WILL NOT WORK with the required "samba-admin" user within the "provision" scripts.

Oliver,
is this something you are working on to fix?

The strange thing is the same schema is used when provisioning Samba 4 *without* OpenLDAP and it works
perfect.  It is just when OpenLDAP is used and the scripts "auto populate" the backend, is when these *key* POSIX objects are left out.

I do hope this is a "easy" fix because I am dead in the water doing further testing, without these objects, within my environment.. hint, hint =)
