rfc2307bis and samba woes

[Victor Mataré <matare@lih.rwth-aachen.de>]

Hi list,

Has anybody else gone through this posixGroup vs. groupOfNames pain? I mean, 
what kind of a design accident is this? Samba 3.4 seems unable to deal with 
rfc2307bis (which makes posixGroup auxiliary). I'll definitely talk to the 
samba list on this, too, but maybe somebody can tell me what the status of the 
rfc2307bis mess is, anyway. Looks to me like this whole issue has been rotting 
at the ietf for like 10 years and nobody seems to care about it. Except 
openSuSE, who allegedly use it by default. No idea how they made samba work 
with it, though. In my naïve mind the patch should be almost trivial (just use 
groupOfNames as structuralObjectClass and add a dummy member), but I suspect 
it's not in vanilla samba because of the vague status of rfc2307bis. So... any 
insight on this whole rfc2307bis scenario is highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.
