[Samba] Questions about samba+LDAP

Hi,

just three simple questions about samba+LDAP:

Samba allows to configure several LDAP suffixes,

ldap group suffix
ldap idmap suffix
ldap machine suffix
ldap user suffix

and the general ldap base with ldap suffix.


But is there a way to configure a suffix for
the sambaDomain objects?

When I call pdbedit -L , it automatically creates
a Domain for the machine, but directly under the
ldap base, which is a little bit annoying, would like
to have them in a subtree with ou=...

Interestingly, the LDAP administration tool
ldap-account-manager does keep the sambaDomains in a
subtree separated with ou=..., but samba does not accept
them.



Second question:

does pdbedit always create (and does samba always use) a
sambaDomain object named after the netbios name?


Third question:

The configuration file for the smbldap tools allow to
specify a slave LDAP just for the read access, and a master
for write access, thus supporting LDAP replications.

Does ldapsam support the same?

Hadmut
