Standard Samba 2.2.7 does not rebind to do updates. This is a problem when using LDAP and a replicated directory.

I did try this on the normal mail-list, but got no responce so I hoped to try here.

I found http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/ldap-smb-2_2-howto.html, which has a patch to add rebind. Which I am going to try, because I need it and it looks right, not that I am a programmer or anything like that.

Alternatively, it is possible multimaster configuration of openldap.
Unfortunately, this multimaster is not officially supported :-(
I would like that it would be better to get 2.2 to rebind correctly.

I know Andrew did ask someone to try and fix this problem, which has something to do with a change in OpenLDAP, but currently all focus is on head ... which means, if I impliment another upgrade, it's awhole lot of new problems which I am going to run into ...

Thanks for your idea.
