samba - Sep 2019 - Is the smbldap-tools package no longer maintained?

I've been trying to find news on the smbldap-tools package from IDEALX
but my google searches have been fruitless. In my FreeBSD port build
run yesterday I noticed that the port is listed as *broken* because
the download link no longer works. Is there a new home for this code
or has it lost it's maintainer?

*Note* I was able to build against a cached download but if the
(download) location has moved than I can send a note to the FreeBSD
port maintainer and get the link updated.

I do not think it is maintained any more, an old version can be found here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/smbldap-tools/

Last updated 5 years ago, but it says that it moved on the 19/09/2007 to 
https://gna.org/projects/smbldap-tools/, but gna.org closed down a few 
years ago.

I cannot find the source anywhere, this doesn't mean it doesn't exist, 
just that I cannot find it ;-)

Can I also point out that you really should upgrade to AD, an NT4-style 
domain is very old technology and Microsoft keeps breaking them.

Rowland

You guys cant google ;-) 

Within 1 minute..

https://packages.debian.org/sid/admin/smbldap-tools 

And no, i did not google for debian, i just used: smbldap-tools.tar.gz 
;-) then 4th link :-) :-p

Project is indeed dead, does not work with AD and 'NT domains' are
deprecated.

Anyway, looking around in my mail archives, seems that the latest version
is:

Ow and i do agree with Rowland. 

DONT use it, or better said, only use it if there is really really ..
Realy.. Nothing else to replace it. 

So drop that and just setup a samba-AD-DC, which provide also ldap for you.

Louis

Louis, that is the Debian package, not the source, yes the package might 
be being maintained by Debian, but the main source does not seem to be 
maintained by anyone. This a bit like you producing Debian Samba 
packages from the Samba source, you maintain your packages, but Samba is 
maintained by the Samba Team.

The Samba source can be found here: https://git.samba.org/

There doesn't seem to be anything similar for smbldap-tools.
