-Samba offers flexibility in backend account database design. The flexibility is immediately obvious as one
-begins to explore this capability. Recent changes to Samba (since 3.0.23) have removed the mulitple backend
-feature in order to simplify problems that broke some installations. This removal has made the internal
-operation of Samba-3 more consistent and predictable.

-Beginning with Samba 3.0.23 it is no longer possible to specify use of mulitple passdb backends. Earlier
-versions of Samba-3 made it possible to specify multiple password backends, and even multiple
-backends of the same type. The multiple passdb backend capability caused many problems with name to SID and
-SID to name ID resolution. The Samba team wrestled with the challenges and decided that this feature needed
