As I recall, there was a problem with OpenLDAP that consisted of the
fact that one couldn't specify access to the server itself through an
ACL without using dn syntax. The old posixGroup did not use dn syntax.
There was a new standard produced but last I new it had not yet been
incorporated into the schema's.

Anyway, the impact on Samba was that unless you were really good with
OpenLDAP and knew how to incorporate the new posixGroup schema, you were
stuck with using redundant groupOfNames objects to provide Samba users
with the ability to change records.

So is this fixed?

Wanted: Easy step by step guide for creating a simple schema.  Perhaps
an address book record or something.
