[Samba] Description of LDAP-attribute sambaSIDList

[Daniel Wilson]

Thanks Tony, that really helped! :)

By syntax i mean something like this (openLDAP schema...but i need a 
version for sun Directory Server 5.2).....

attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7165.2.1.24 NAME 'sambaLMPassword' DESC 
'LanManager Password' EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match S
YNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{32} SINGLE-VALUE X-ORIGIN 'user 
defined' )

....i dont have an attribute called sambaSIDList...

By the way what is GQ? i have created my own perl scripts to do the 
things i want, have made into a nice webpage for our admin team to use! :)

Regards
