So, Samba4's LDAP server is what will need to be seen by windows
clients, as they have very, very specific requirements, not met by any
existing free solutions.  

However, Samba has the need for backend storage of it's data, and this
can either be in a local flat file, or in *another* LDAP server.  My
hope is that this would allow Samba to be a front-end to a larger
organisational directory, which is where I see FDS fitting in.

(I've not discussed OpenLDAP in this context yet, but no doubt I will
have similar discussions with interested people on that team at some
point).
