[Samba] Xp without netbios - few questions with samba 3 - smbldap_open: cannot access LDAP when not root

[John H Terpstra]

JM,

Suggst you file a bug report on http://bugzilla.samba.org - at least that
way it will get looked at. Suggest you put a relatively low priority on it
unless it really is a life threatening issue.
