I gave a talk at SambaXP on the topic, and the challenges of using an
external LDAP server (rather than our internal database) for the primary
data store. Currently, it just isn't an option to use OpenLDAP.
What we need to work out is how much we need to change both OpenLDAP (in
loading schema, matching rules, overlays etc) as well as Samba, to allow
such arrangements. I'm hoping to do some further research work in this
area soon.
