FreeBSD+Samba+MySql

Hi, I am trying to install Samba on FreeBSD with a MySql Backend. There are some older how to documents on the net but when I make the package (in this case Samba34) it doesn't have a MySql backend compile option (like the example on the web).

Have they removed support for MySql backend in Samba or is it compiled in by default on FreeBSD?

Thanks.
 
No idea if this works but have a look at net/samba-pdbsql.

The port mentions the MySQL backend was removed in Samba 3.0.22.

Most people would probably use LDAP as a backend. Any reason why you want MySQL?
 
I'll will check that package out, thanks. Reason, I am mainly going to use the Samba install at home and want to integrate the use of Samba accounts with my website and it would be easier to adapt a user SQL database than it would to integrate LDAP (with my existing code).
