The next major release, LAM 0.5, will have fewer restrictions and support the latest Samba features
(e.g. logon hours). The new plugin based architecture also allows to manage much more different
account types like plain Unix accounts. The upload can now handle groups and hosts, too. Another
important point is the tree view which allows to browse and edit LDAP objects directly.
