Samba 3.0 Alpha 21 cvs + LDAP

[Dennis Lattka]

I can't get smbd to bind with the LDAP server to authenticate.

Configured using the following:

./configure  --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var 
--with-configdir=/etc/samba --with-fhs --with-swatdir=/usr/share/swat 
--enable-cups --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass --with-ldapsam --with-syslog 
--with-acl-support

testparm show the following:

 testparm       
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[home]"
Loaded services file OK.

I've run smbpasswd -w password which works and then tried smbpasswd root 
with the following message:

 smbpasswd root
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Loading ldap://ldap.example.com failed!
Failed to find entry for user root.
Failed to modify password entry for user root

also setting the logging to 0 or 1 or 3 seems to make no difference. I 
must be missing some little detail here because others appear to be able 
to set this up. Please help. Thank you.
