samba - Feb 2017 - ldapcmp finds differences of "DC" vs "dc"???

Attempting to debug issues with replication I ldapcmd finds  
differences with the case of the "DC" attribute?

Is this normal?

LARKIN28 is Samba4 4.5.4, while WINDC1 is Windows 2008R2.

[root at larkin28 samba]# samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://larkin28.micore.us  
ldap://windc1.micore.us -Uadministrator dnsdomain

It's normal. I believe a bug has also been filed.

For the moment, yes ;-)

You can ignore it, it also happens with 'CN' etc, but it doesn't
seem
to affect how the Samba AD runs.
