[Samba] Linux (specially Fedora 8), issues with ldap and samba services starting up at boot time

[Andrew Richey]

Hey Adam,

Well, I have my Samba LDAP stuff within an organizational unit on 
purpose - but do you think that would cause an issue?  Remember, when I 
start it manually, it causes no issues at all.  It's only when the 
service is set to start at boot time.
