Description Rowland Penny 2018-07-06 06:32:52 UTC 
If I run 'ldbedit --cross-ncs --show-binary -e nano -H /usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb' on Samba 4.6.2, I get:

A similar command on Samba 4.8.2:

ldbedit --cross-ncs --show-binary -e nano -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb

returns:

dn: DC=devstation,DC=samdom.example.com,CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com

I think this is what Andrew calls a 'regression'
