#1 - click on the 'English flag' button - et voila, English

#2 - you should at least state which smbldap-tools you are speaking of
that you have fixed so others have a chance to compare and where you got
it from, idealx.com or from your distribution, and report the issue to
the place where it came from.

#3 - people are likely to ask you for if they are struggling and they
don't know why and you authoritatively suggest that your solution will
fix things for them. I think we had a very recent issue where that
wasn't the problem but the problem lied in his pam/ldap.conf.

#4 - suggesting that people do a complete replace the file that came
packaged with their system by one that you have modified doesn't seem
like the best solution at all...you could offer a 'patch' which should
throw up an alert if the file looks different or just the suggestions
about where you have modified the code and why...in fact, we have a wiki
for that kind of stuff now... http://wiki.samba.org
