Hi!

While using libuser's LDAP module, I think I've found that it's not complete. The fact is that several operations, like adding users and groups try to invoke "lu_ldap_set" libuser's function, which in turn, uses ldap_modify_s().

The problem here is that can't expect ldap_modify_s() to succeed in creating a user or group account when the underlying LDAP entry does not exist. The real fact is that I've been unable to use "luseradd" and "lgroupadd" to add users and groups to my LDAP backend.

Thus, I've modified and redeveloped the LDAP module of libuser a little bit and I think I've got a 100%, fully functional LDAP backend module which can be used to add, delete and modify user and group accounts.

Are you interested in me posting a unified diff/patch (or the whole sources)? Please, say yes ;-) This is a very interesting piece of software I'm using in a real proyect to migrate a stinking farm of NT4 boxes to Linux + Samba 3.0 and LDAP.

Thanks!
