Tonni,

I commented out the three lines to see if the error went away.  It did 
not.  smbd dies no matter what is in the smb.conf file, as far as I can 
tell. 

I realize those options are likely not exactly what is needed.  I'm 
trying to find better (than the man page or Ch. 10 in the HOWTO) 
documentation on what the various smb.conf "ldap" directives do.  If you 
know of any, please point them out. 

Thanks for the reply.
