lost in samba land

Hi Alan,

Played yes, have tried so many things it is all a blur. I think the error was
ldap related so I started chasing down the openldap avenue. I think perhaps my ldap database is not created and am having trouble inferring from the documents the steps to make one from scratch for only a handful of users/resources.

Another hint that came my way was that it appears a NT server is trying to be
found, which non exists. I will try to find the PDC manual pages and correct that in smb.conf this evening.

don't try to walk different avenues at once. I would suggest that you may start with samba and NT password authentication. The reason is, that it is the straight forward problem. Ldap is a - at least for me - more complicated issue cause it is more complex to authenticate a user with. If you got it running with "normal" passwd authentication, then start to mingle the ldap issue. This reduced complexity to your approach and leads to easier recognition of errors. For the ldap issue I would recommend asking the openldap mailing list, if you haven't already.
