LDAP and encryption

[Jon L.Gardner]

So this means that the Mac OS X Server implementation of Samba must have 
a module similar to --with-ldapsam that works with NetInfo and the 
Authentication Manager. I've checked the ADC website, but I don't see 
that module anywhere. Anybody have any pull with the Apple Samba team, 
who might be able to lay hands on their "open source" module?
