I could use some help figureing out what specifically the differences are between Samba 3.0a and 2.2.X in regards to LDAP. Partucularly when it comes to the schemata. After I've got it figured out I will see that the MandrakeSecure HOWTOs are updated to include this info to help Mandrake users who want to try a Samba 3.0 DC. Note that as yet the beta version is not available in an RPM for Mandrake. Jim C.
