[Samba] SAMBA and root entry

[Richard Canada]

hi all,

I am trying to add an entry for root using samba-2.2.7 and Directory 
Server for LDAP.

I use the command "smbpasswd -a root" and I get this error:

[root at sysad2 root]# smbpasswd -a root
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
LDAP search "(&(uid=root)(objectclass=sambaAccount))" returned 0 entries.
failed to modify user with uid = root with: Object class violation
	
Failed to add entry for user root.
Failed to modify password entry for user root
[root at sysad2 root]#


I have verified that I have a good connection to the LDAP server.  Any 
ideas?
