Saravanan,

I need to update the book.  That covers the LDAP setup
for Samba 2.2.  For now, you are better off following
the passdb documentations in the samba/docs/ directory.


| [global]
|    netbios name       = LDAP	
|    workgroup          = LDAP

and don't set the netbios name and workgroup to
the values.  It will be painful.





cheers, jerrty
