r4867: Removing smbldap-tools from the svn tree. I'll include
the latest version in the actual release tarballs. Have spoken to the idealx developers about this. Updated README to reflect the changte for people using svn. Removed ldapsync.pl since it is no longer needed when using the smbldap-tools (only keep things you support). (This used to be commit f745e5119f420d4826ac395037880666761e05e8)

-What those tools are for?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-
-A collection of scripts, «over» user{add,del,mod} and group{add,del,mod}
-system tools to manipulate users and groups stored in LDAP directory,
-for DEN system like SAMBA-LDAP and pam/nss_ldap systems.
-
-Additionnaly, some scripts are designed to ease your migration from
-a Windows NT 4.0 PDC Server to a Samba-LDAP PDC Server (Killer?;-):
-smbldap-populate, smbldap-migrate-groups, smbldap-migrate-accounts.
-
-They are currently used with Samba 2.2.4, therefore you may (will) have
-to make some fixes for Samba TNG and Samba 3.0. Hint: contribs welcome :)
-
-In the future, some other function may come (like backup and restore,
-Novell migration tools, samba system activity report, dealing with
-mail functions, compliance to RFC2307...): consult TODO.
-
-
-What do SMBLDAP-TOOLS provide?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Those tools provide the following functions :
- . populate LDAP database with a basic LDIF
- . add a user or group
- . delete a user or group
- . modify all users or groups data (all attributes types stored in
- posixAccount and sambaAccount object class)
-Taking care of :
- . staying compatible with all standard system tools options
- (user/group{add,del,mod})
- . be extensible for future developments
- (manipulation of shadow account options, for example)
- . error management, in the way system tools do
-Constraints :
- . usage of PERL (portability)
- . all options must be placed in an external configuration file
- . english localization
-
-The current release uses the "mkntpwd" program, in mkntpwd.tar.gz
-in the current directory. It comes from
-http://www.demog.berkeley.edu/~aperrin/tips/src/mkntpwd.tar.gz
-It allows to not use smbpasswd (if $with_smbpasswd == 0 in smbldap_conf.pm)
-
-What do SMBLDAP-TOOLS deliver?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-Contents :
- . scripts (see FILES)
- . user documentation in pod format, included in the sources
- (or just use the -? option)
-
-These tools aim at delivering the same functionality as the corresponding
-system tools. However they may not be all implemented yet.
-Current limitations :
- . no shadow support
- . cannot change uid with usermod
- . no UTF-8 support (thus ASCII-7 only)
-
-
-How to generate documentation?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Just issue the following command:
- perldoc name_of_script.pl (ex: perldoc smbldap-useradd.pl)
-
-Where can I find the latest release of those scripts?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-
-Just fire any web browser to http://samba.IDEALX.org/
-and/or contact samba@IDEALX.org
-
-Additionnaly, you will find an useful Webmin module
-at http://webmin.IDEALX.org/ if interested in a graphical
-user interface to manager user and groups accounts via Webmin
-for your Samba+LDAP PDC.
-
-Let us know if these tools helped you, or if we should enhance
-them with some functions you want them to support.
-
-Sincerly,
- LEM
