This is the 'multiple pdb backends' patch from ctrlsoft, aka Jelmer Vernooij
<jelmer@nl.linux.org>. This patch also includes major rework of pdbedit to use popt, and the addition of -i paramter (allowing the user to specify which PDBs is being operated on) and -e to export a pdb - useful for backup and testing etc. Use of -i and -e gets us pdb2pdb functionality for transition between backends, much like the sam2sam in TNG. Andrew Bartlett (This used to be commit c10def37f506d3f2bab442418ac08fdb62659b02)

@@ -7,3 +7,9 @@ a pdb plugin. It just prints the name of the function that is executed using
DEBUG. Maybe it's nice to include some of the arguments to the function in the
future too..
+To debug passdb backends, try to run gdb on the 'pdbedit' executable. That's really much easier than restarting smbd constantly and attaching with your debugger.
+
+New passdb plugins should go into the samba lib directory, (/usr/lib/samba/ for
+most distributions) and should be prefixed with 'pdb_'. An example would be:
+/usr/lib/samba/pdb_test.so
