If someone needed something complex, they would have already invented
yet-another-schema to deal with their odd situation.  What the rest
of us need is an out-of-the-box server with a standard schema that
supplies what the clients that already exist (in that same box...)
expect and a management tool that knows that the matching posix and
samba logins are the same person.

If you think people will have trouble making a standard tool work
when it comes with working defaults, consider how much harder it
becomes when you have to build your own tool from parts and it
ends up being one of a kind.  There is quite a bit of talk on
the k12ltsp list about this as they are trying to settle on a
scripted approach to building a working LDAP configuration.  It
just doesn't make sense for every user to have to do that himself.
