smbpasswd and ldap

[Michael Torrie]

I've compiled samba with the --with-ldapsam option and have setup up an
ldap server.  When I try to change the password of a user, say
Administrator, get the following stuff with full debugging turned on (-D
255):

New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
ldap_open_connection: connection opened
ldap_connect_system: succesful connection to the LDAP server
ldap_search_one_user: searching
for:[(&(uid=Administrator)(objectclass=sambaAccount))]
get_single_attribute: [uid] = [Administrator]
Entry found for user: Administrator
get_single_attribute: [sambaDomain] = [NULL]
get_single_attribute: [pwdLastSet] = [3B9E4575]
get_single_attribute: [logonTime] = [00000000]
get_single_attribute: [logoffTime] = [00000000]
get_single_attribute: [kickoffTime] = [00000000]
get_single_attribute: [pwdCanChange] = [3982F885]
get_single_attribute: [pwdMustChange] = [FFFFFFFF]
get_single_attribute: [gecos] = [Root user]
get_single_attribute: [homeDrive] = [K:]
homeDrive is set to K:
get_single_attribute: [smbHome] = [NULL]
smbHome is set to 
smbHome fell back to \\samba\%u
get_single_attribute: [scriptPath] = [testmess.bat]
scriptPath is set to testmess.bat
get_single_attribute: [profilePath] = [\\samba\profiles\Administrator]
profilePath is set to \\samba\profiles\Administrator
get_single_attribute: [description] = [NULL]
get_single_attribute: [userWorkstations] = [NULL]
get_single_attribute: [rid] = [1f4]
get_single_attribute: [primaryGroupID] = [200]
ldap_open_connection: connection opened
ldap_connect_system: succesful connection to the LDAP server
ldap_search_one_user: searching
for:[(&(uid=)(objectclass=sambaAccount))]
No user to modify!
Failed to modify entry for user Administrator.
Failed to modify password entry for user Administrator

Is this a bug in the LDAP part of samba?  How come the search string is
correct the first time:
(&(uid=Administrator)(objectclass=sambaAccount))
but not the second time:
(&(uid=)(objectclass=sambaAccount))

Any ideas?

thanks,
Michael
