Hi
No, just the normal rfc2307 classes/attributes. posixAccount, 
posixGroup, loginShell, unixHomeDirectory, uidNumber, gidNumber

If those are stored in AD, 3.x winbind can be used to access them e.g.

idmap config YOURDOMAIN:schema_mode = rfc2307
winbind nss info = rfc2307

Do your patches offer anything over and above this. Better performance?

Cheers,
Steve
