There is a way to have both a local database and access a remote database=20
using the same API, if we want it. Andrew Tridgell (aka Mr Samba) proposed=
=20
using the LDB API as a configuration backend. LDB, for those not tracking=20
Samba4, is the way they are going to do ActiveDirectory support. So instead=
=20
of using OpenLDAP (which is a pain to set up and get working with Samba3),=
=20
there is a lightweight built in API. It normally talks to a TDB database -=
=20
just mmap()ed in for speed and convenience - but can talk to ldapi and mayb=
e=20
ldap over the wire.

Tridge is keen to see this happen.
