Even with 10.000 or more users it works well. You just need to create all the correct indexes. > Proftpd and courier have no problems with very simple and similar > schemas. I'm not sure about samba but I will check their schema. It's not really about the schema you're using. Both proftpd and courier don't need data to be stored in a particular fashion. You can virtually do just whatever you want. Samba does need specific objectclasses and attributes to be present, however, so that is limiting your freedom in designing the database. I haven't looked at the new samba with full ldap support yet, my experience is with older 2.0.x and 2.2.1 versions. > Will you be migrating from an /etc/[passwd|master.passwd|shadow|etc.]?

Do you have it working? i haven't seen it, but the most important question is whether you're going to use 'real' unix users (via nss_ldap en pam_ldap) or whether you're going to use virtual users. The latter is much easier to design for courier and proftpd, but may be not possible with samba. If you're going to use real users, your bound to the posixaccount objectclass at a minimum.
