Exactly, my problem is that I have 180 sites, each one with a samba-ldap, the packages definitions are the same for all the sites, so a rsync and it's ok. The problem is hosts.xml, as I want to manage it in a centralised way, I thought about LDAP first. > As I said, I never thought about it yet. I will make a note on my > feature list.
