Thanks for the quick response. I thought that I changed everything that i needed
to in smbldap_conf.pm, but maybe i didnt. I changed the slaveLDAP, masterLDAP,
suffix, binddn, bindpasswd, _userSmbHome, _userProfile, the path to smbpasswd,
and the ldap_path. I thought that was everything. I also ran smbldap-passwd.pl
multiple times and typing in a password and I still havent got it to work. Maybe
its possible that I installed the scripts wrong. I untar'ed it into a directory
and copied all the .pl and .pm scripts into /usr/local/sbin. Then ran make on
mkntpwd and copied that too. Finally I modified smbldap_conf.pm. Any other
ideas? Thanks for the help.
Also, none of the scripts run unless im in the /usr/local/sbin directory. I
think is has to do with the path for packages for perl, but like i said before,
i dont know perl well enough to fix this.

Thanks again.
