The results of this project are sound, even if parts of the documentation is in
Norwegian, most of that is not essential for a developer to understand the results.

This particular thread has been about synchronising Linux and Windows passwords,
a task the project did not solve, so it's an extension of the project. It is
working, but it seems that Samba needs to bind to LDAP as the admin user, hence
the need to have access to the admin password. If you or the students you
mentored know anything about this issue, please enlighten us :-)
