Would this not result in entries in the LDAP schema which can be edited by LDAP clients but not returned to the L-SMB database? In regard the whole integration of L-SMB's customer db with other apps, the biggest nightmares I can conceive are the possibility of Joe Salesman editing the company name of an entry (say in line with the customer's new CAPITALisation policy), and this getting back to L- SMB & throwing out all invoices already assigned to the customer. I had envisioned a read-only interface to SL / L-SMB's customer db - speaking for myself I need no more to be VERY happy.
