samba - Aug 2003 - Where is mysql support?

Hi, 
 
This is a slight repetition but I have discovered more.... 
 
I have the latest beta of Samba 3.0. I want to use the MySql password
authentication (mainly
because I don't know and don't have time to learn LDAP). However, beyond
the examples I can
find no other code relating to mysql in the source tree. mysql.so in particular
is not there.
 
Is it included in the source? If not where do I find it? 
 
Howard

Bad plan, obviously....

I found the problem... sort of... I didn't notice the experimental module
switch to ./configure. That
should have been a clue :-(

Next the mysql "test" application wouldn't compile, but there is a
switch to disable that, so that got
mysql support past the configure stage.
Then of course the mysql modules wouldn't compile! So, I am taking
experimental to mean that it
doesn't work at all!

Oh well.... LDAP suffering and brain damage here we come....

H.

It does compile, my packages for Mandrake 8.2-9.1 and in cooker contrib
have the mysql plugin. I had to disable the test application for
configure (since it doesn't seem to work for mysql 4.x or later), but it
does compile if you have the relevant development files installed (ie
libmysql-devel on Mandrake, MySQL-devel on Redhat etc).

(note the xml and mysql passdb plugins are in subpackages)

What's wrong with LDAP?
