Hi,

 I really enjoyed your tutorial. I just wanted to let you know that current versions of openldap will use runtime configuration, i.e. storing the ldap configuration in the /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ directory and by default ignoring a /etc/ldap/slapd.conf file. Users might experience several errors in this case:

1. There is no slapd.conf file where to add the include schemas, after installing openldap

2. When coming to the smbldap-populate command, the populating will fail (because the schemas will not be used in the configuration, even a slapd.conf file was created)

You might want to hint to that in the tutorial. In this case a search for "openldap runtime configuration" might turnout how to overcome those issues.

 Best regards, Mathias Mamsch
