One of the reasons I choose to go with openldap as my backend for samba
was I intended to eventually have my cyrus server authenticate against
the same server thus creating a single point of autherization for
network services.
That being said if samba 4 does have it's own ldap "like" backend unless
people are able to use it for other services I beleive that openldap
will still be the back end of choice.
