Yep. I thought the patch didn't do what
you thought it would do :-).

Yes, but we can't remove 'security = ads'
due to widespread use in the wild.

The question is - do we leave things
as they are - which is security = ads and security = domain
both try LDAP calls, and will both fall-back
to RPC if there is any problem, or do we
make a change to force RPC (no LDAP)
if the setting is "security = domain" ?

I'd like Alexander and Guenther to comment
here is possible, or anyone else on the
Team (Uri, Volker ?) with experience in
customer environments with this.

Cheers,

	Jeremy.
