You need an understanding of LDAP to setup and successfully deal with
LDAP issues when using Samba+LDAP.  That is provided by LDAP
documentation.  There is no way around reading the documentation.

Can you add an object like this manually?  Is the Samba process binding
with an DN with sufficient privileges?  Is the Samba schema successfully
loaded?  Does a database with the suffix of dc=hfc,dc=com exist?
