Yeah but what i ment is that fc2 should come with a fully initialized
ldap server. It's also possible that in a first step only the users and
groups are saved in the ldap. As i said in the first mail, Samba ships
command line tools for adding, modifying and deleting users from a bash
shell. The only thing needed to change is to replace the "normal"
useradd, usermod, userdel, groupadd, groupmod and groupdel by the ones
shipped with samba. For the normal user it wouldn't make any changes in
the "feeling" of the administration. From my point of view, a GUI admin
tool doesn't needs to support all the complete ldap features, it should
only be a easy to use administration interface - excuse this analogy -
like the active directory frontend.
My point also. Though due to nss, it is not
needed, it might complicate
things, it's yet-another-really-not-needed-daemon, overkill for most
users.
Using something like libuser, it would be easy to have a unified
userinterface for users/groups regarless of wether they are in text file
or an ldap server.
The question is ofcourse, _why_ should ldap be used as a backend for
this, for _all_ users ?
