[Samba] POLL: Does anyone actually use multiple passdb backends on the same server?

At least I use it:

passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://someserver.riege.de, tdbsam , guest

On the other hand as far as I remember it put tdbsam in it because I 
just wanted to separate root from the ldap tree, as otherwise I would 
have a global root account on way too much servers.

Though I suppose this is not necessary anymore with the new role 
capabilities in samba 3.0.20? ( I still use 3.0.10/14 ).

So I guess I do nt need this anymore after an upgrade.
