standalone ldap server using sam.ldb as backend

Hi all,

I'm facing some issues trying to debug samba+openchange+sogo when SOGo uses 
samba's ldap server as its ldap authentication source. Basically, if samba runs 
under gdb (-Msingle -i), as soon as the sogo openchange backend does a ldap 
lookup, the whole thing locks up. Of course, this is expected since there is 
only a single samba process/thread and it is busy doing the lookup...

Until now I tried to avoid this kind of setup as much as possible by using 
another ldap backend for the sogo auth source, but this is not very practical.

To work around this, I thought it would be great if I could have a second ldap 
server, running on a different port, which uses sam.ldb as its backend.

Would this be even possible or is the ldap server really tightly integrated in 
the samba daemon and cannot be split to run standalone?

Thanks!
