[clug] Smbpasswd problem ?

[Kim Holburn]

Not meaning to start a flame fest or anything but isn't there a list 
for samba problems?
Doesn't this list specifically say no samba questions?
http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/linux

In answer to your question, is there anything in /etc/ldap.conf or 
wherever your distro puts it?
