last - this must most FAQ people wonder - can IPA's 389 
backend be used in the same/similar fashion samba uses ldap? 
skipping all the kerberos bits? (samba & IPA on the same one 
box)
this might be more 389-ds related - in old days I remember 
DS had mozldap dedicated toolset, how is it these days? How 
do users deal with 389-ds IPA-related bits?

many thanks
