[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#514151: Bug#514151: Bug#514151: samba: Account locking out doesnt work with an LDAP backend

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting Diego A. Gomez (diego at dgomez.com.ar):

> I think this bug must be fixed before Lenny become Stable.

Given the timeframe before the release, I don't.

I'm really sorry to say this, but this should have been raised2 or 3
weeks ago, not 10 days before the planned release of lenny.

The onyl solution would be an high urgency upload and hoping that all
arches will build in very few days so that the package enters testing
before Feb 14th. Too short timeframe, imho.

Which is called a regression. I agree this deserves to be fixed in a
point release. We will ask the Stable Release Managers about this and
I'm OK to upload a package including the fix from 3.2.6 in
proposed-updates, after the release.
