When having an eDirectory tree with multiple O= we have to select multiple O= for searching for users in novell-cifs and novell-afp.

Depending on the eDirectory structure it makes sense to specify the tree root (T=<tree-name>) instead of multiple O=.

This would reduce the number of ldap requests and make the configuration and maintenance much easier (adding O=, removing O=, renaming O=...).

Please add the T= option to be selectable in the YaST modules for novell-cifs and novell-afp and also in the iManager plugins for the search contexts configuration.
