Doesn't sound like a problem until you approach maybe 100 time that many users. Proftpd and courier have no problems with very simple and similar schemas. I'm not sure about samba but I will check their schema. Will you be migrating from an /etc/[passwd|master.passwd|shadow|etc.]? Have you looked at and or tested the schema that I sent? I suggest that you use openldap2.0.23.
