Thanks for your reply. You're right, it's my fault. I overlooked this new option since 3.0.21 in "whatsnew.txt". Maybe it should also be mentioned in the explicite "Changes to passdb backend" section. ;-)
Now I have one question: According to an old diskussion http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-January/078010.html it sounds like macro-expansion for the ldap-backend is something like an "undocumented feature". Is this right and may it disappear in the future?
