Re: Samba 3.0 Schema changes

hi,
everybody waiting for a good tool which is similar to MS's AD. for this 
we need samba 3 with ldap backend and some kind of gui for user 
administration. currently DA seems to be the good candidate. those who 
realy would like to use samba, ldap and DA probalbly would like to use 
samba 3, openldap 2.1.x. so what we realy need that DA support for the 
new samba schema and for the v3 ldap portocol. so I'd like to ask samba 
people to try to stabilize the schema ASAP, and for the DA team to 
support this new schema ASAP. in this case everybody can test is and 
they (the final tested version of samba and DA) can be released together.
just my 2c.
