I'm missing something. It would be great if all the required fields
were marked, since I always seem to have difficulty getting diradmin
to work. I'm still get ObjectClass violations, when I try to create an
account from scratch. Unchecking "Grant access to all computers in the
network" solved the problem. So I conclude, if you "Grant access to
all computers in the network" then DA trys to use both InetOrgPerson
and account at the same time. They are both StructuralObjectClasses
and therefore an error.

Also the schema for samba is outdated, according to what I'm seeing.
The smbHome attribute is deprecated in Samba3. The new attribute is
"sambaHomePath". So it appears that DA is not compatible with samba3.

Is there no way to add the capability to check against the schema
chosen to make sure all the attributes DA expects are present, and
then let the admin know?
