I thought that I could bring some contribute here about the usability of
Samba.
While using 'samba-tool dns', I received the following message:
ERROR(ldb): uncaught exception - LDAP error 1 LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR -
<00002020: Operation unavailable without authentication> <>
File

This message contains a lot of information that is useful only to coders.
The common systems administrator will embark on too long a journey through
all that haystack in search of the needle he desperately needs:
ERROR : Operation unavailable without authentication
Or even:
INFO : Operation unavailable without authentication
Is there currently some manner of building Samba in such a way that the
common, non-developer, sysadmin, can uncomplicate his already complicated
life?
That would be a marvelous gift.
Thank you and good work!
I love Samba
