[SAMBA4] Help needed: Would someone like to implement parentGUID?

[Andrew Bartlett]

Recently I've been asked to implement parentGUID support in Samba4.
This is a new feature in Windows 2008, and one that I've had indicated
some tools are starting to query.

In short, this is the objectGUID of the parent record, and could easily
be added in the 'objectclass' ldb module - for example in
objectclass_do_add() just after we call fix_dn().  (We have just
searched for the parent, so including it's objectGUID in that search
should be trivial). 

Later work should ensure we update this on a rename:
objectclass_do_rename() should do an extra step (with another callback)
to make a modify as well as the rename.

I could knock this up myself, but I realised that this is perhaps an
easy introductory exercise in Samba4 development, and wondered if
someone would like to take it on?

Thanks,
