[Samba] Re: A little help with nss_ldap - User xxx in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!

[Robert Silvia]

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.
