Me too.

I think our aim should be that people never need to use ldbsearch or
ldbedit in normal operations.

Our command line interfaces should be simple and clear and
comprehensive and not require *very* much knowledge of how Samba works
behind the scenes. As well as adding missing samba-tool commands, we
also need to make some of the existing ones shut up a bit and try to
present their message better.

Along these lines I am very slowly working on patches to make
samba-tool explain what the hell DRS replication is trying to do,
rather than dumping a strange collection of ldb objects.

I'd also like to introduce a --color={yes,no,auto} option, similar to
modern command line tools like "git" and "ls".

cheers,
Douglas
