I saw that.  No worries.  Figured you hadn't noticed the new
code.

Nope.  I striped out the likewise cell support that it is a
basic AD rfc2307 idmap/nss_info plugin.  You have to understand
that the schema mode, Forest-wide Likewise cell structure is
really just an RFC2307 forest.  So I removed the other dependencies
on any aspects of the Likewise data model and just adpated it
do what the idmap_ad but supporting forest, trusts, connection
management and GC searches.  It was a lot eaier to strip out
some code and reuse the plugin that it would have been to add
connection management to idmap_ad.

At least according to my tests and Christian McHugh, the plugin
is working propoerly.

There are man pages on both the idmap_adex and idmap_hash
plugins.

Why would I checkin a Likewise specific plugin to Samba?  :-)
That would be pointless.
